I am not sure if that would work out - the promoters of GT-Open used to be the organizers of Spanish GT as well, and that series collapsed a few years ago. Now all that's left in Spain is a mixed touring car and GT-series, though the top-class is limited to vintage GT3s in 2007-spec.

What about that Belgian GT series who has a GT3 Viper, GTE Vette, those Volvo silhouettes? GT Open could emulate that.
That'd be the (formerly "Dutch) Supercar Challenge" - and even for those guys things aren't going that well right now. They've had plenty of events this year with less than 20 cars in their GT-divisions, when it used to be close to 40 in the past. Not a bad series, but probably not the model you'd want to emulate right now.

Thats kinda what it was to begin with, at the first meeting you had GT2, Porsche Cup, Ferrari Challenge, GT3 even a Marcos LM600.
Not to forget those whacky Seat Silhouettes...
