Yes in the experimental classes. Can't remember off the top of my head the lettering that denotes this class something like EXP-1 or similar.
They are heavily BOPed though making an GT3 R the more competitive car. |

E1XP and E2XP I believe are the experimental classes. The Glickenhaus P4/5C runs in E1XP and the BMW M3 GT2's that won overall (2009/2010?) were also in E1XP.

Farnbacher entered their GT2 Ferraris in SP7 and SP8 though, the 430 in SP7 in 2010 and the 458 in SP8 in 2011 based on engine size. And the last time Manthey entered a GT2-spec car in 2011, it was also entered in SP7.

Looser rules in those classes however allow enhancements like Farnbacher ran on their 458 (proper diffuser vs the GT2 spec one).

There is no specific class for GTE cars (like SP9 is for GT3), but they should usually fit into one of the SP classes.

My apologies, I was basing it around the BMWs having been in that class.

It was just a matter of time! Thanks for the link Samurai.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=r9d-8hpdPsY They list one size for the tires, seems like it's following the TS030 in having the 'wide fronts'. |

Notice the sponsors? Some are the same as on the TS030. Mostly Toyota corporation owned.

Gazoo racing is an official racing team owned by Toyota.
However, it is not a works team for winning. It is a program for publicizing pleasure of car culture. http://gazoo.com/racing/english/about_racing/index.asp |

Car is OK. But Masahiko Kageyama is semi-retired driver.

So, Gazoo is like Audi Team Phoenix. If they win they are Audi Sport, if they lose they are Team Phoenix.
