That was the plan, initially, but Ratel found no GT2-teams that were willing to compete there...

Anyway, would it make more sense to use the GT1's for this series? 10 to 15 two to three hour races spanning the globe for the fastest GT cars with the Spa 24 hours as the crown in the jewel?
Cool as it sounds, that would be massively expensive. Hans Reiter says that the sprint format has cut running costs in half - and I guess that's the only reason why they have 20+ GT1s on the grid this year, whereas they were struggling to get a dozen when they had the endurance format.
