The 2007 FIA GT Championship was the 11th season of FIA GT Championship auto racing. It was a series for Grand Touring style cars competing in two classes, GT1 and GT2, the latter being less powerful and more closely related to road-going models. Cars from National Championships (Group 2) and GT3 cars (Group 3) were also allowed to compete, but were not eligible to score championship points. The series began on 25 March 2007 and ended 21 October 2007 after 10 races.
The GT1 Drivers Championship was won by Thomas Biagi driving a Maserati MC12 GT1 for the Vitaphone Racing Team and the GT1 Teams Championship by the Vitaphone Racing Team .
Schedule
The Brazilian Mil Milhas endurance race was originally announced by the SRO as being part of the 2007 season, but instead became part of the Le Mans Series schedule.
Rule changes
The following rules were changed between the 2006 season and 2007.
Race weekends were two days instead of three days.
Races were two hours instead of three hours, but still required two mandatory pit stops
Cars were allowed a maximum of three race engines for the entire season.
Cars were required to use the same gear ratio with three different final drives throughout the entire season.
All brakes were supplied by a single manufacturer and homologated by the FIA.
All fuel was supplied by Shell through 2008.
A new award was added for amateur drivers in older GT1-class cars. Sponsored by Cessna , the Citation Cup was to be awarded to eligible teams. Winners at each race were allowed on the GT1 podium, and the crews were awarded three hours of flight from Jetalliance .

Red Racing's entry was classified as Group 2 (G2) instead of GT1, making it ineligible for the FIA GT1 driver or team championships, however the entry was deemed eligible for the Citation Cup for drivers of GT1 cars.
