It was the first time the GT1 category visited the Slovakia Ring circuit. Valmon Racing Team Russia did not take part in the event.{{cite news|title=Hexis McLaren takes pole position for Qualifying Race in Slovakia|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/100223|work=Autosport.com|publisher=Haymarket Publications|date=9 June 2012|accessdate=9 June 2012}}

The circuit was modified following the 2011 FIA GT3 races, which saw several cars become airborne as they crossed over the crest between turns two and three. In response to this, event organisers added a temporary tyre chicane on the approach to the crest prior to the race. In addition to this, organizers also designated the section of circuit from the second turn to the tyre chicane as a permanent yellow-flag area, banning overtaking on the approach to the chicane.Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/C_vgiRZelf4 Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20120608173423/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_vgiRZelf4 Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite AV media| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLD25674FACCB23854&feature=player_embedded&v=C_vgiRZelf4#!| title = GT1-LIFE - SLOVAKIA The Weekend Preview | website=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}
