NEGT presents the Northeast GT Cup, a strictly no-contact racing championship, bringing real, clean racing to the road racing circuits of the Northeast.  The NEGT Cup kicks off its inaugural season in 2024 with 6 competitive rounds of racing. Spectators are welcome.

 Saturday: Saturday: 3-hour race & Race School

Sunday: Saturday: 3-hour race 

“*Exception of Round 6 at Lime Rock Park which is Friday-Saturday

Two mandatory driver swaps per race – events can be run by teams of 1, 2, or 3 drivers.  Each race scored separately – compete on either or both days. HPDE hosted by partner organization, MassTuning, the day before each NEGT Round of racing.”

All NEGT Cup drivers must have a racing license or wheel-to-wheel experience.  In addition, all drivers and all crew involved with fueling must wear a Snell SA2015 or newer helmet, fire-proof racing suit, fire-proof gloves, and and fire-proof shoes.  All drivers must wear neck protection.  See Northeast GT rulebook for specifications.

For experienced track-day drivers new to wheel to wheel racing, for racers returning to wheel-to-wheel, and for racers new to Northeast GT looking to learn how to race cleanly, the Northeast GT Race School helps drivers make the transition from HPDEs and time trials to full wheel-to-wheel.

Drivers who successfully complete the race school may compete in NEGT Cup race(s).  All Rounds will offer a GT Race School.

1-day race school with the purpose of guiding drivers towards a clean first race:

Classroom sessions

Paddock/pit lane hands-on demonstrations

On-track open passing, exercises, and drills

All building progressively throughout the day towards a graduation race

GT Race School open to experienced track day drivers (i.e., already promoted to fastest run group, time trial, and/or instructor status).  See Northeast GT rulebook for requirements.

All vehicles must be production car based and prepared for wheel-to-wheel racing, including full roll cage, fire system, in-date racing seat/harnesses/net, front and rear cameras, a transponder, and other racing and safety equipment – see Northeast GT rulebook for complete requirements.
