The FIA GT Championship was a sports car racing series for Grand Touring (GT) cars administered by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motor sport's regulatory body, and promoted by the Stéphane Ratel Organisation (SRO).
[1] For 2005, the two categories reverted to the GT1 and GT2 titles, and the series was superseded by the FIA GT1 World Championship at the end of the 2009 season.
[7] The champions were not officially crowned until the FIA Prize Giving Ceremony held in Monaco in December following the conclusion of the season.
[15][16] In six seasons, only one driver was crowned champion in their category, rather than two, because their regular co-driver did not participate in all of the races.
[36][37] There was a lack of eligible non-professional drivers throughout the 2008 season, so the FIA moved it to the GT2 class for seven races in 2009.
