International Sports Cars has announced to host a one-make prototype series, which will put nation against nation, where teams and drivers will be racing for the honor of their countries in a franchise-based league.
The race grid will be fielded by teams representing a country, with two neutral entities also available. Each country will be awarded a 3-year Franchise, then renewable through a bidding process. The owners will become stakeholders of the series through the franchise system. Teams will be able to enter 1 or 2 cars. The entry cap will be at 28 cars.
The racing series will feature5 events, each offering ample track time, including two 90-minute races. The aim is to focus on cost control whilst creating great value for Teams, drivers and franchise holders. The shorter race format with pit stops and driver changes will guarantee exciting racing due to the hybrid nature between sprint racing and endurance racing in a single class International Series.
The series will feature multiple Driver Line-up options consisting of 2 drivers.
The car will be a high performance yet affordable prototype which combines great performance, reliability, reasonable investment and low running cost.
The racing series has a strong communication plan which includes full live streaming will be integrated and promoted through a brand-new dedicated OTT platform to be launched.
At the moment, International Sports Cars is planning for the inaugural season to start at the end of 2025 early 2026 subject to the final calendar. The series will visit FIA Grade 1 racetracks in the GCC and Asia Pacific region.
The International Sports Cars is set to reveal the race car around next week.
