Photo: Fred Hardy/SRO OGH Motorsports has been hit with a $10,000 fine as its No. 5 McLaren Artura GT4 was driven by an non-registered and unlicensed driver in Thursday’s testing sessions at Circuit of The Americas. Confirmed in a stewards’ decision issued on Friday afternoon, a team representative admitted that an unregistered driver, understood to be a driver of McLaren’s Junior Driver Development program, drove the car. However, the driver was not permitted to take part in the sessions based on a plethora of prerequisites that would have needed to be completed in order to be eligible. In addition to not being named on the entry list as a nominated driver, the driver had not completed the mandatory driver checks set out in Article 16.3, including submission of an SRO driver’s license application, a copy of a valid FIA International Grade C (or equivalent) license with current medical certificate, ASN authorization to compete, certificate of completion of the Sean Edwards Founda...

Photo: Fred Hardy/SRO The GT4 Manufacturer Ranking is up and running – and if the opening five rounds are any indication, the season ahead promises to be fiercely contested. BMW has reigned supreme since the global competition was launched in 2024, producing a particularly commanding performance to secure last year’s title. But the early signs suggest it will be unable to replicate this level of dominance, with a new force emerging at the top of the table. The car in front is a Toyota. The Japanese marque enjoyed a strong 2025 campaign, banking 20 race wins and finishing third in the standings thanks to an especially strong record in Asia. Its form has now gone global. The GR Supra GT4 EVO2 has scored consistently across two rounds in Europe, as well as one each in America, Australia and Asia, indicating that the fight really is on. The season began on March 14-15 with SRO GT Cup launching its sophomore campaign at the Shanghai International Circuit. The very first GT4 Manufactu...
