The NEGT Cup kicks off in 2024

5 rounds of racing + The 10 Hours of Watkins Glen

Rounds 1-5:

3 classes of single-class racing with open practice/early qual

2-hour race on day 2

2-hour race on day 3

Each race scored separately

Finally, the Round 6 winner-take-all Championship is a 10-hour race at Watkins Glen with a Friday practice/qual followed by a 10hr multi-class race into the evening on Saturday.

For advanced drivers new or returning to wheel to wheel racing, the Northeast GT Race School helps drivers make the transition from HPDEs and time trials to full wheel-to-wheel.

Drivers who successfully complete the race school may compete in the NEGT Cup race(s) that round.  Rounds 0 – 5 will each offer a 1-day GT Race School, held on the first day of each event.

1-day race school with the purpose of guiding drivers towards a clean first race:

Classroom sessions

Paddock/pit lane hands-on demonstrations

On-track open passing, exercises, and drills

All building progressively throughout the day towards a graduation race

Open to advanced drivers (i.e., already promoted to fastest run group, time trial, and/or instructor status)

200tw or higher tires only

Factory rated power-to-weight based ratios:

7 : 1  Super Cup

10 : 1  GT Cup

14 : 1  Sunday Cup
