The sprint-format event will begin with free practice on Friday 6 November. Official practice and qualifying will be held on Saturday 7 November, while three one-hour races will be run on Sunday 8 November.

TOSFED President Eren Üçlertoprağı said: "We want to announce a new international race at TOSFED Istanbul Park. Thanks to our intensive work to make our circuit the international centre of attraction for motorsport in our region, and to promote our country and contribute to sports tourism, the number of events held at the facility is steadily increasing. In this context, we are already inviting everyone who wants to experience the excitement of top-level GT cars again after almost 20 years to TOSFED Istanbul Park."
