I thought I saw a list somewhere but cannot find it now but does anyone know how many of each GT3 car has been built? I read recently that Audi had built 136 of the outgoing model and have already received orders for 45 of the 2016 model. That seems like big numbers, but what about the new Benz or M6?

This is not the way GT3 should go. Same for Renault RS01.

Not particularly worried about that. The lobbying power of the big manufacturers will make sure it never gets close to being competitive in any of the major series. And that is if we see it in one of them at all, which I don't think we will. British GT is pretty booked out and none of the other top line series even accept national homologations these days.

The RS01 at least looks like a GT car, but the Radical? Noooooo way.

I don't like it either, but at least you can buy a Radical RXC Turbo and drive it home. You can't do that with a Ginetta G55 or Renault RS01.

So true. Look what happened with Mosler.

It would fit better in GT300 together with the Renault RS.01, but not for GT3 class even though it's for national homologation.

Basically it comes down to how badly the series organizers need your car...

That was the N/A version of the car (rather than the turbo) and they ran in their own class (but without much/anything) in the way of competition.

Haha same here. Great to see the brand revived especially with Gordon Murray involved but I'll wait til they build an actual car before I think they might even race it.

An owner of one told me its smaller in most dimensions, lighter and more downforce than the SLS.
