About this event
Welcome to Real Clean Racing with Northeast GT
Northeast GT 2024 Event Calendar
Northeast GT stands for Northeast Grassroots Touring (NEGT), and Northeast GT exists to bring real, clean racing to the road racing circuits of New England and the Northeast. NEGT presents the Northeast GT Cup – a strictly no-contact racing championship.
Round 0 at Canaan Motor Club features Open Practice as well as GT Race School on Saturday as well as Sunday. Spectators are welcome. Free Camping for the weekend from Friday night until Monday morning. Electric hook-up is not available. Day 1 at Canaan is also available.
Open Practice:
Features 4 x 45min timed open passing sessions AND a 30min untimed open track session for THREE AND A HALF (3.5) HOURS OF SEAT TIME! Northeast GT Cup vehicles will be divided into two run groups: “Sunday” and “GTSU”. Sunday will be dedicated to Sunday Cup vehicles only. GTSU will include GT Cup, GTS Cup, Super Cup, and Super Unlimited vehicles.
GT Race School:
For new, returning, or current racers, the GT Race School offers a racing curriculum that spans the classroom, paddock/pit-lane, and on-track sessions with the purpose of guiding drivers towards a clean race. Advanced drivers who don't have racing credentials or experience may participate in the GT Race School and race in the Northeast GT Cup after successful completion of the race school. Any licensed and/or experienced Northeast GT Cup eligible driver looking to brush up on their skills, or warm-up for the race weekend, may sign-up to attend the GT Race School on-track sessions.
GT Race School drivers can expect to receive multiple classroom, paddock/pit lane, and 4 x 30min on-track sessions, including a graduation race:
- On-track sessions – Get up to speed in a controlled, progressive manner, when transitioning from track days to wheel-to-wheel racing. Begin with open passing sessions, including passing exercises, starts & restarts, and finish with a practice graduation race.
- Paddock/pit-lane sessions – Learn about pit lane and fuel safety, practice vehicle exits, and prepare for upcoming on-track sessions.
- Classroom – Learn slow to go fast. Classroom sessions throughout the day emphasize wheel-to-wheel essentials, such as mirrors and managing nearby traffic, passing and defending craft and strategies, Northeast GT racing flags and commands, and tips to manage safety and risk.
