The Fanatec GT World Challenge Asia powered by AWS (formerly Blancpain GT Series Asia and Blancpain GT World Challenge Asia) is a GT series motor racing competition promoted by the Stéphane Ratel Organisation and organized by Team Asia One GT Management.[1]
From its inception in 2017 to 2023, GT World Challenge Asia was a multi-class championship featuring GT3 and GT4 cars. In 2024, the series adopted the same GT3-only format as the other GT World Challenge series on other continents.
The Japan Cup series debuted in 2022 as a parallel championship within GT World Challenge Asia, with races held exclusively in Japan. It was split into a separate championship in 2024.
