Nick6 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Anyone notice the Racingdivas Team Schubert entry? A Z4 listed with a 2.0L engine.

A6-Pro cars (i.e. the fastest GT3 cars in qualifying) are free to push all through the race, the other classes still have the joker laptime rule (but the other classes are all fully-reliant on amateur drivers, who in general rarely get close to the target laptimes).

A6/GT3 will be split into Pro and Am based on qualifying times and the wishes of the teams. Last year there were teams that qualified fast enough to go into A6-Pro, but then chose to run to the joker laptime rules because 2 or 3 of their drivers were amateurs and the pro driver qualified the car.

I don't mind the time penalty thing. It adds something different. It's very much its own race, rather than just being the N24 in the desert.

Great list, do we know if they still have the daft 'you can only drive quickly for a few laps' rule?

Great to see Munnich back in a GT, here's hoping it's more than just a one-off.

And now I finally know who ram racing's funder is!

Not at all, the Z4 road car has the option of two 2-liter inline-4 engine variants, and that is definitely not a Z4 GT3.

When I posted that I was imagining a Z4 GT3 with a turbo 4 but it seems to be more of a production based car then?

Obviously mislabeled, the car is in A3T so it sounds like a modified road car with the turbocharged I4 engine option.

Are Pro drivers capped to not going faster than a certain time per lap?

Last year's rules say the A6-Pro cars (decided after quali) get an increase in ballast and ride height, but they do not have any joker laptime rules, they can go flat-out all the time.
