The 2022 Pirelli GT4 America Series is the fourth season of the GT4 America Series. The season began on April 15 at Sonoma Raceway and will end on October 9 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Calendar edit
The preliminary calendar was released on September 4, 2021, without disclosing the location of round 2.[1] On October 10, 2021, the SRO announced that Ozarks International Raceway would fill the vacancy in the schedule, pending FIA circuit homologation. The round at Virginia International Raceway was also postponed one week to avoid a clash with the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans.[2] On April 27, 2022, the SRO announced that Ozarks round was replaced with NOLA Motorsports Park on the same date due to the challenges related with infrastructure and supply chain.[3]

Notes edit
- ^ Moisey Uretsky is Russian, but they compete as neutral competitors using the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile flag as Russian national emblems were banned by the association due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
- ^ Drivers who started their first race of the season at the penultimate or final rounds are ineligible for points and invisible as far as awarding points to other drivers.
