Championship standings Points systems
Points are awarded to the top 10 (Pro) or top 6 (Am, Pro-Am, Teams) classified finishers. If less than 6 participants start the race or if less than 75% of the original race distance is completed, half points are awarded. For the Endurance Race (Spa) points are multiplied by 2. At the end of the season, the 2 lowest race scores are dropped; if the points dropped are those obtained in the Endurance Race, that will count as 2 races; however, the dropped races cannot be the result of disqualification or race bans.2023 SPORTING REGULATION INTERNATIONAL GT OPEN

Drivers' championships
Overall Note: National sporting body invalidated the results of Race 2 at the Red Bull Ring, on an appeal by Team Motopark concerning safety car procedures in the race. The decision provisionally saw Eastalent Racing take both the teams' and drivers' title. However, a subsequent appeal by Optimum Motorsport was heard and upheld by the FIA's International Court of Appeal in January 2024, with the Red Bull Ring results reinstated and Optimum crowned drivers' champions.
