It has a new owner & a new wrap and seems to headed to PWC again. Looks like Andy Lee has been coaching gentleman driver Elias Sabo for GTSA:

Nice to see it’ll be back. Glad PWC have some decent diversity amongst the German crowd this year

And still run by GMG

That’s some commitment, if they run the 4 Audi’s, 1 Mclaren and 1 Porsche GT3

Truspeed Autosport will bring 2 Audi R8 GT3’s for the full season. They are the former Stevenson cars. Drivers TBC

Great to hear another pair of GT3s, things are picking up nicely after a worryingly low early predicted entry

Nice Audi entry. Something PWC needed after Magnus left, M1GT went to GT3 and nothing heard yet from McCann

So the possible field could look a bit like this
2x - Callaway - Corvette C7 GT3-R
3x - K-Pax - Bentley Continental GT3
1x - Pfaff - Porsche 911 GT3-R
2x - TruSpeed - Audi R8 LMS
1-2x - GMG - Porsche 911 GT3-R
1-2x - TR3 - Ferrari 488 GT3
1-2x - Alegra - Porsche 911 GT3-R

1x - TKO - Porsche 911 GT3-R
1x - Black Swan - Porsche 911 GT3-R / Mercedes-AMG GT3
1x - DLT - Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3
1x - Champ1 - Mercedes-AMG GT3
1-2x - R.Ferri - Ferrari 488 GT3 / Ferrari 458 Italia GT3
1x - Always Evolving - Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3
1x - CRP Racing - Mercedes-AMG GT3
1x - LoneStar - Mercedes-AMG GT3

Maybe put a TBD by Always Evolving for their manufacturer

If you think optimistically looking at the awesome Nasportscar tracker we could well end up with 20+.

Any GT3 field with 20+ cars is a success in my eyes. 20 cars on the grid looks great taking the green flag on the start straight, and there’s enough numbers to allow for decent action.

I think high teens is very realistic for the full season. There could/should be a few that are in the "rumored" section of my tracker that move up. The grid this year will look pretty different from what we're used since the 2014 season, but still a lot of fun.

I almost cant imagine them with something else than a Nissan, especially they had an updated/new GT-R last season and them posting a lot about Nissan.

Hmm, imagine a McLaren in Always Evolving colors

By my count, if you include confirmed and rumoured/possible entries, you are in the 26 GT3 car window... So with the natural non materialisation of a number of those entries, Im sure we could comfortably see 18-20 cars.

There is already 12 or so confirmed cars, so we only need to see 6 out of 14 possible cars actually join to hit a decent 20 car grid.

Still think its great to see those Stevenson cars back in action, I wonder if much of the crew are in tack to go with the cars..

Nice to see the #45 return to Flying Lizard. I'll miss the Porsches, though.

Congrats mike!

Does Eversley in an Audi for GTS mean he's no longer with Acura? Not sure if I missed something on that.

He's driving for HART Racing in the IMSA series, in a non-factory entered NSX, so I'm sure that he can drive anything he wants. As he said on Twitter today..."They're racers, they get it and they want to see me do well...". I'm not sure what RealTime Racing is doing this year with their NSX programme, so perhaps Ryan might be available for them also!

I don't think we'll see the RealTime nsx back. Maybe TCR. But who knows, would love to see the nsx continue to have a presence in pwc

I though i read somewhere one of the RTR NSX chassis went to Michael Shank Racing, while one of MSR went to HART. I don't know what happened with the second RTR NSX.

Gotcha, thanks. It would seem odd for Honda/Acura to not continue to have him on the payroll with everything he does, I saw he is with HART for daytona and did quite well at the Roar. Not only can he drive, but his secondary value with social media and DWR is arguably second to none.

TCR would be a nice fit for RTR as a team and their history.

Parker Chase in the first Truspeed Audi GT3, for the full season, with Ryan Daziel as co driver in Sprint X.

Nice mix of experience and youth there.

So GTS SprintX is separate from GT SprintX?
