A Weekend of Speed, Precision, and World-Class Performance
Next weekend, one of the most thrilling racing events in North America is coming straight to our backyard in Northern California: the GT World Challenge America at Sonoma Raceway.
Scheduled for March 27-29, this racing event heralds the start of the 2026 championship season and features top-notch racing talent, top-tier racing teams, and some of the most sophisticated and high-performance racing machines available in the world today.
What Makes This Event Special
GT World Challenge America is the premier GT racing series in North America. We have multiple class racing in GT3, GT2, GT4, and beyond.
This is not just racing; this is engineering at its highest level. We have manufacturers such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, BMW, Audi, and McLaren competing against each other on the iconic 12-turn road course at Sonoma.
This weekend includes:
• A full three-day race experience
• Multiple racing series: GT, GT4, Touring Cars, GR Cup, and McLaren Trophy
• Meet and greet sessions with the drivers and get their autographs
• Grid walks and paddock access
• Trackside displays of cars and experiences for the enthusiast
Sunday afternoon is when the main race is held.
Where Performance Meets Precision
What’s particularly pertinent to our organization, Anthony’s Auto Craft, is how much engineering has gone into these cars.
The same manufacturers you see racing, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Audi, etc., are constructed with:
• High-end lightweight materials
• Sophisticated structural engineering
• Intricate aerodynamics
• Highly integrated electronics
The very things we encounter in our daily lives in vehicle repair.
Precision wins races.
Precision keeps drivers safe.
A Closer Look at Modern Performance Vehicles
Watching these cars in action really puts into perspective just how far technology in vehicles has come.
From carbon fiber to braking mechanisms to aerodynamics, every aspect of these vehicles is designed for optimal performance.
But what is perhaps most surprising to many drivers is that modern vehicles are no longer just machines, they are sophisticated devices that require a certain level of expertise to maintain and repair.
From the Track to the Road
We at Anthony’s Auto Craft are no strangers to the same values of precision, performance, and craftsmanship that this event embodies.
Although these cars are designed specifically for the track, the values and standards set forth in these cars are the same values and standards we uphold in everything we do, whether it’s a structural repair, a diagnostic process, or a refinishing job.
Because at the end of the day, whether you’re on the track or on the road:
Precision matters.
