FIA GT slimmed down to six races

The newly-named FIA GT Series has been slimmed down to six races with only one flyaway outside Europe at the behest of the teams. A seven-race schedule with two non-European races had been planned for what was provisionally titled the GT Sprint Series. Series boss Stephane Ratel said that the decision had been taken to reduce the schedule after meeting with prospective entrants before Christmas.
