1998 FIA GT Championship

The 1998 FIA GT Championship marked the second season of FIA GT Championship, an auto racing series endorsed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and managed by the Stéphane Ratel Organisation (SRO). The races showcased grand touring cars adhering to two categories of regulations, GT1 and GT2, and awarded driver and team championships in each category. Commencing on 12 April 1998, the season concluded on 25 October 1998 after ten rounds, spanning across Europe, Japan, and the United States.

Klaus Ludwig and Ricardo Zonta won the GT1 Drivers' Championship for 1998

The GT1 championships were won by Klaus Ludwig and Ricardo Zonta of the repeat champions AMG Mercedes, while the GT2 title was awarded to Olivier Beretta and Pedro Lamy of Viper Team Oreca.[1] Subsequent to the season, the GT1 category was eliminated from the FIA GT Championship due to insufficient entries for 1999.
