2016 GT-R World Championship season

The 2016 GT-R World Championship season was the first season of GT-R WC.

Teams and drivers
In late 2015, a total of twenty-two teams applied to be a part of the 30 car series, with seventeen teams initially being accepted into the series. A formal complaint was filed by one of the teams who wasn't accept citing the process that entries were accepted being too vague and potentially biased. With this in mind, GT-R Management allowed 2 car Independent teams to surrender a car in order to let teams who weren't initially accepted into the series to join. By the end of the process, 3 new teams were added to the entry list.

Fly-Away Guest Entries
To help promote the GT-R WC, the GT-R Comission invited local drivers to drive in one off appearances in their home country. The cars would be run with assistance from factory teams with local engineers and mechanics being invited to work on the car with the team.
