The 2022 Fanatec GT World Challenge America Powered by AWS was the sixteenth season of the United States Auto Club's GT World Challenge America, and the fifth under ownership of SRO Motorsports Group.The season began at Sonoma Raceway on April 15, and ended at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on October 8.
K-PAX Racing and Andrea Caldarelli won the Pro category Teams' and Drivers' Championships for the second consecutive year, as Lamborghini won the Manufacturers' Championship. Racers Edge Motorsports, Mario Farnbacher, and Ashton Harrison won the Pro/Am Championships, as Harrison became the first woman to win a series championship in any category of GT World Challenge America. Triarsi Competizione, Onofrio Triarsi, and Charlie Scardina won the Am Championships as the only team in the category to participate in every round.
The preliminary calendar was released on September 4, 2021, without disclosing the location of round two.[1] On October 10, 2021, the SRO announced that Ozarks International Raceway would fill the vacancy in the schedule, pending FIA circuit homologation. The round at Virginia International Raceway was also postponed one week to avoid a clash with the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans.[2]
On April 27, 2022, the SRO announced that the second round at Ozarks was relocated to NOLA Motorsports Park, due to the challenges related with infrastructure and supply chain.[3]
The Indianapolis 8 Hours once again served as the final round of the GT World Challenge America season. However, unlike the 2021 race where points were paid after three hours of racing to eligible teams, championship points would be paid at the end of the eight-hour distance.
