The number of regions in the Manufacturer Series will change from the current five to three for the 2021 Exhibition Series that begins on February 27.

The participating countries and territories will be categorized in the following way in the three regions:

■ Europe/Middle East/Africa

Austria / Bahrain / Belgium / Bulgaria / Croatia / Cyprus / Czech Republic / Denmark / Finland / France / Germany / Greece / Hungary / Iceland / India / Ireland / Israel / Italy / Lebanon / Luxembourg / Kuwait / Malta / Netherlands / Norway / Oman / Poland / Portugal / Qatar / Romania / Russia / Saudi Arabia / Slovakia / Slovenia / South Africa / Spain / Sweden / Switzerland / Turkey / Ukraine / United Arab Emirates (UAE) / UK

The "Global Manufacturer Ranking" will now be calculated from the Manufacturer Ranking Points from the three regions. Please note this is not a list of the 'FIA GT Championships' 2021 Series participating countries/territories. That list will be shared at a later date.

This change does not apply to the Nations Cup which will continue to consist of five regions.
