The 2014 World GT Series was set to be the third World GT Series season. Following a highly successful 2013 season, World GT in 2014 had the aim of becoming GPVWC's flagship rFactor 2 league. However, following news that the mod would not be ready on time and rising concerns over the 'feasibility' of an rFactor 2 based World GT season, the decision was taken to keep the series on rFactor for at least one more year. Unfortunately, following further complications, the season was placed on indefinite hold then fully cancelled with the intention of returning in 2015.

Planned Rule Changes

Sporting

  • Races will be increased to 6 hours in length from 1 with the exception of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
  • Teams must perform a driver swap during the 6 hours.
  • For the first time in GT history, no Drivers' championship will be contested. Instead, both drivers from each team will contribute towards the scoring of points for the team only (ie if Driver 'A' and Driver 'B' driving for Team 'X' finish first in a race, the team will score 25 points).
