The 2008 24H Series was the first season of the 24H Series organized by Creventic with multiple races. The races were contested with GT3-spec cars, sports cars, touring cars and 24H-Specials, like silhouette cars. No championship points or titles were awarded.
Calendar
[edit]The initial calendar was announced on November 26, 2007, with five races.[1] A change was made on January 23, 2008, where the round at Istanbul Park was dropped and Eurospeedway was added.[2] Another change was made on March 17, where the race at Lausitzring was delayed until August 16–17.[3] A further alteration was made to the Hungaroring round. The event was changed from 24 to 12 hours after local environmental groups prevented racing from running after 10 pm.[4] The calendar was revised again when the 24H Lausitzring round was cancelled due to low entries and the race at Valencia was also cancelled.[5]
