HYPERFEST GT (HFGT)
Our team at HyperFest and the National Auto Sport Association would like to present HyperFest Grand Touring, or HFGT. HFGT is a series that incorporates all the rules of the NASA CCR and classification standards, but also applies a wow factor seen nowhere else. From our beginnings in 2002, we have always wanted to build something special with HyperFest. One of our goals was to build the bridge between professional and amateur sports car racing.
2026 UPDATE
New for 2026! For our second full year of HFGT, we have expanded to a 6 race schedule! Our first race starts off at Sebring, and then we move to Carolina Motorsports Park February 13-15, HyperFest at VIR May 15-17, New Jersey Motorsports Park August 14-16, and finally Summit Point Motorsports Park for a double header finale! We are thankful to be partnering with the Florida, Northeast and Southeast regions to expand HyperFest GT. All 6 races will be individual races (no other race classes on track) and will count towards the HFGT championship points. The points are structured as the following:
1st: 20 points
2nd: 17 points
3rd: 14 points
4th: 12 points
5th: 10 points
6th: 8 points
7th: 6 points
8th: 4 points
9th: 2 points
10th: 1 point
WHY IS THE SERIES SPECIAL?
In HFGT, drivers will have their own run group at prime time during HyperFest on Saturday when this awesome new class of racing hits the asphalt. One series. One group. One winner.
“Coming from someone who has raced in NASA since I was 16 years old, sharing the track with other groups can be challenging with traffic but also lacking publicity for the drivers as there are so many classes on track. It will be nice to see drivers get their own group and really get out in that spotlight.”
- Jack Cobetto, founder of HFGT
"Hyperfest Grand Touring is the series I've been waiting for. With so many different classes on track these days, it's nice to have one single group to highlight great cars, fast drivers, and amazing camaraderie. No matter where you are on the grid, you will have the time of your life and the greatest battles you've ever had in HFGT. The close racing amongst very different cars will make you a better driver in the process. All the hard work that Chris, Jack, and the rest of their team have done over the past year has paid off and I can't wait to be a part of the HFGT series."
- Griffin Gamcsik-Uly, BMW M3 / ST4 Racer
HFGT / ST4 PAPERWORK AND RULES
WHAT ARE THE HFGT RULES?
HFGT is based off of NASA’s Super Touring 4 rules, with a few extra modifiers. ST4 is already a booming class inside of NASA and provides an easy way for drivers to jump in and run HFGT. The other awesome part about HFGT, is that if a car fits in the ST4 umbrella, then it will fit into HFGT! This means that if a driver runs in a class that is considered slower than the power to weight of ST4, then they can run their car in HFGT without having to make any changes to their car or paperwork. The links below explain how other classes transfer to HFGT, as well as the extra modifiers and how to apply them to your paperwork! (ST4 cars taking additional HFGT modifiers ARE NOT legal for ST4, only HFGT.)
