Current season

GT4 Scandinavia is based on a two-driver concept, which means that an amateur and a professional share a car and drive equally in both qualifying and races. The Series is a part of the SRO Motorsports Group. However, the driver categories are three: gold, silver and bronze. The new Scandinavian GT championship will be decided in two classes, Pro/Am and Am/Am. In the former, gold and bronze drivers, or silver and bronze drivers may share a car. No other combinations are accepted. In the Am/Am class, only two bronze drivers may share a car.^[2]

The competition format in GT4 Scandinavia^[3] follows other championships for the same category of cars. A competition weekend begins with an hour-long test session and is then followed by qualifying (2×15 minutes). The race is between 60 and 50 minutes long. Each race includes a mandatory pit stop for a driver change.

In GT racing, Balance of Performance (BoP) is used, which means that the cars' performance is equalized by balancing, for example, weight, engine power and ride height. This means that everyone, regardless of car brand, basically has an equal chance of winning. GT4 Scandinavia will be run in collaboration with SRO Motorsports Group, a company that specializes in organizing, coordinating and running motorsport series, mainly in GT racing, around the world. SRO, led by the company's founder and CEO, the Frenchman Stephane Ratel, has offices in London, Paris, Hong Kong and Liége. SRO is also the worldwide owner of the fast-growing GT4 category. All GT4 championships are governed by the same BoP and have Pirelli as a common tire supplier. The fact that the conditions in all GT4 series are the same makes it possible for drivers from, for example, Sweden to compete internationally.

In recent years of GT4 Scandinavia, the audience has seen cool cars from, among others, Alpine (A110 GT4), Audi (R8 LMS GT4), BMW (M4 GT4), Ginetta (G55 GT4), Maserati (Gran Turismo MC GT4), McLaren ( 570S GT4), Mercedes (AMG GT4) and Porsche (Cayman GT4, 911 GT3 Cup – 997 – GT4).

Due to the limited shortage of entrants, the championship was cancelled for 2024.^[4]
