IMHO we can kiss the idea of a unified GT4 class in Europe goodbye... with the breakdown of the Eurocup, each national federation is on its own and will make up their own rules as they go. That also means less manufacturer backed customer programs and more homebuilts - GT4 as a class is dead, but the cars will continue to be the backbone of many national series secondary classes.

Dutch GT4 will probably soldier on for a couple of years, but in other series there will probably be an influx of non-GT4 cars and a runwhatyoubrung-mentality over the next few seasons in the former GT4 divisions.

The Mazda is already a symptom of this shift. GT4 is suppossed to be close to stock, but a close to stock MX5 could of course never hope to challenge Vantages and 911s.
