Why both GT2 and GT3
Hi
One of the problems with motorsports is that there a too many classes and championships. It's difficult for the random fan to follow. So why do we have both GT2 and GT3 now? The GT3 cars are almost as fast and much cheaper. And we have 13 different cars in GT3! I would like to see the GT3 cars in both Le Mans and ALMS. The new challenge class in ALMS could be great for GT3-cars, wouldn't it? Another thing about the US. Can you today drive GT3-cars in the Speed World GT Challenge or/and the Grand Am GTs? Maybe those championships also should follow the GT3-rules. And we also need some Japanese cars in GT3, so maybe the Grand Am RX8 can be converted?

Not all GT3's are cheaper. The costs have gotten a bit out of control very quickly.

A R8 with full support will run you close to 500,000 Euros.

The R8 is said to be joining the ALMS GT Challenge in 2011 or 2012. |

GT1 for "prototype" GTs, GT2 for turbo GTs, GT3 for NA GTs. Just as FIA used to have until the 99 season when GT3 all of a sudden became NGT and then GT2, but Porsche stuck with their naming of GT3 to NA GTs and hence the GT3 is now running in GT2! Blame FIA, not Porsche |
