2015 Blancpain Sprint Series season
Previous: 2014 Next: 2016

The 2015 Blancpain Sprint Series is the third season following on from the demise of the SRO Group's FIA GT1 World Championship (an auto racing series for grand tourer cars), the second with the designation of Blancpain Sprint Series.

Calendar

The series started at the Circuit Paul Armagnac in Nogaro, France on 6 April and will end at Circuit Park Zandvoort in Netherlands on 11 October. Baku had been scheduled to host the final round of the season, but was replaced by Zandvoort for economic reasons.[1] The seven-event calendar contained largely the same events as the previous season, with the addition of races at Moscow Raceway in Russia and Misano in Italy.[2][3]
