Since then, the International GT Open has enjoyed constant expansion and a growing success, thanks to stable rules, controlled costs, excellent TV coverage and premium venues. Today, the International GT Open has established itself as one of the top pro-am racing GT series in Europe. After celebrating in 2015 its 10th season, the International GT Open inaugurates its second decade with renewed confidence.
