ELMS & EURO GT Join Together ?

[Greg Murray]

ELMS & EURO GT join together(Hopefully!).The 2 have poor grids and this would boost the racing and Excitement!.If this would happen I think more teams who don't ride in either of these would join the new series as either Teams or Manufactures Bently and McLaren F1 would join the LM GTP class,LM P900 Panoz,Chrysler & Courage would join,LM P675 MG,Renyard,lola & Pilbeam,GT Chrysler Viper,Lister Storm & Ferrari,N-GT Porsche. SO what do you think!.

Thats what I thought.... would they really want all the speed differentials they get in the ALMS and the subsequent crashes between cars of different speeds...

Most of the ACO GTs can't race in FIA GT because of the "25 road cars built" rule there (how many Saleens and M3 GTRs are there? ;-) - just as FIA GT cars can't run in the "ACO rules" series because of their sequential 'boxes and other differences in the tech regs.

Besides, FIA GT certainly won't let the prototypes in, or run with them! The way they are looking at it, they are the main event now, why go back to being the "side show"? Besides, there is an FIA prototype series (the FIASCC) where efforts are already underway to bring in the LMPs next year (but not GTPs, and now works cars, and there are issues such as diffusers, roll hoops, price caps, et al. to be sorted out).

It's gone awfully quiet around the ELMS, hasn't it - I don't think there will be a series next year.
