GT3

GT3 is the second PRO Series league sanctioned by ION Racing. The term GT3, known technically as Cup Grand Touring Cars, is a racing category in which a road car is modified to comply with track regulations, these modifications include aerodynamic parts (wings, winglets, etc.) or track safety measures (roll cages, interior fire extinguishers and fuel cells.) While the division doesn't relate to Formula 1 or 2, the league holds drivers who can manage more unstable cars.

The ION GT3 Championship
The ION GT3 Championship is a racing tournament that takes place on ten international tracks. The schedule for each track consists of one practice session and two races: one half-length collision sprint race and one full 30-40 lap non-collision race (Lap calculation depends on pole time). Specifics in rules, including corner cut penalties, are usually calculated based on factors in-game. There is one free practice session on Saturday and one on Sunday, with qualifying and the sprint and feature races following it.

Points are managed by the position of drivers once the race is finished. These points count towards two versions of the championship: The Constructors' Championship and the Drivers' Championship. The Constructors' Championship counts the overall points gained from a specific team. The Drivers' Championship counts the overall points gained by a specific driver, regardless if they stay in the same team for the duration of a season.

Cars
There are a total of 5 cars that are supplied for ION GT3, made by Midnight Sport, WVD, Dragonite, Valor, and Noobington Motors. They are made so that all cars are balanced in performance and handling, while still having their own personality in styling. During the first season of GT3, the grid mostly consisted of Martinis and Mayas, but the new season will see a greater diversity in manufacturers with multiple teams gravitating towards the Vizi, such as Crake GT. With other teams such as Lotus using the Kasai.

Features
ION's GT3 differs from the realistic version, but many of the same features are present. During the first season of GT3, cars were equipped with the ability to change downforces and fuel amounts. Pit stops were able to reset tire wears as well, acting as replacing tires. With the division's second season, many new features have been added to further the realism of the series.
