2026 sees the return of ARL GT3 Trophy, this time for season 12! Hosted on Tuesday nights, the series features 3 driver divisions and is broadcast by Apex Racing TV!
Spa hosts the opening round of the season with other legendary sportscar venues Road Atlanta and Suzuka featuring in rounds 7 and 8 respectively. Round 4 is at the Nurburgring a few days prior to the 24 hour iRacing special event held at the same circuit. Laguna Seca, Brands Hatch and Belle Isle meanwhile make a long-awaited return to the series.
Most rounds consist of a single 60 minute race but with fuel tanks limited to 60% capacity to force a pit stop. 3 of the rounds however have a 25 minute race 1 and 30 minute race 2 with the second race’s grid being formed by the results of race 1 but with the top 10 drivers inverted. Weather is randomly generated a few days before each round, albeit only a forecast is provided to drivers, meaning there could be a deviation to what is predicted.
Season 11 featured a nerve-racking finale with Nicolay Aagaard holding on to clinch the pro title by just 6 points over Maik Paluch. It was more comfortable in the pro ams as Yehor Zvuzdetskyi won 4 of the 8 rounds en route to the championship while Martin Varga won the ams. Grøftekanten Auto won a closely fought teams championship against CoRe SimRacing One. The top 3 drivers from each division all win trophies and Apex Racing Academy subscriptions.
