The 2019 GT Series Endurance Cup (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2019 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup) was the ninth season of the
GT Series Endurance Cup. The season began on 14 April at
Monza and ended on 29 September in
Barcelona. The season featured five rounds, with each race lasting for a duration of three hours besides the
24 Hours of Spa and the 1000 km Paul Ricard events.
Calendar
At the annual press conference during the
2018 24 Hours of Spa on 27 July, the
Stéphane Ratel Organisation announced the first draft of the 2019 calendar.[1] The World Challenge Europe round at the
Nürburgring would become an Endurance Cup round, replacing the round in
Barcelona, before the two tracks were swapped around again in the final draft of the calendar released on 22 October.[2]
Championship points are awarded for the first ten positions in each race. The pole-sitter also receives one point and entries are required to complete 75% of the winning car's race distance in order to be classified and earn points. Individual drivers are required to participate for a minimum of 25 minutes in order to earn championship points in any race.
