GNC1 was the premier class in the 2015-16 AMA Grand National Championship for professional motorcycle flat track racing in the United States.
The GNC1 class debuted in the 2015 season, replacing the previous Expert division and combining both singles and twins events in a unified championship.
In GNC1, twin-cylinder motorcycles were the primary machines and were used for Mile and Half-Mile circuits while single-cylinder motorcycles were used for Short Track and TT events. Since 2017 the GNC1 class has been replaced by the new AFT Twins class, featuring twin-cylinder motorcycles at all events.[1]
