2021 Intercontinental GT Challenge
The 2021-22 Intercontinental GT Challenge is the sixth season of the Intercontinental GT Challenge. Normally a five round season, the races in the Pacific Rim were eliminated because of pandemic-related restrictions, reducing the season to three rounds, one in Europe (Total 24 Hours of Spa on 31 July), one in North America (Indianapolis 8 Hours), and one in Africa (Kyalami 9 Hours, later postponed to 5 February, 2022). Nicky Catsburg and Augusto Farfus are the defending drivers' champions and Porsche is the defending Manufacturers' champion.
