Rewards for GT teams
Every year we get new teams entering Gt racing.Three or so years later they disapear not to be seen for 5 or so years again due to the high costs of racing. I think that the winning teams in each class should have their seasonal costs paid for by the series organisers as that should mean teams continue racing programmes for longer.A new example is the Lister team. The next race in the FIA GT Championship is the Spa 24 hour. Due to their limited budget they will miss that round and as the race is double points their championship ambitions will suffer badly. The FIA should support teams more to ensure that all teams are able to compete and for longer.

Do you have any idea how much it costs to run a team for even one race, let alone a season? There is absolutely no way that a sanctioning body could afford it.

well at least help teams fund the enterence costs. the Spa 24 hours is too expensive for Lister so they won't be there and as it is double points it is goodbye championship! I don't see why they changed the Spa 24 hour to a Gt from its usual touring car race.
