There is still life in GT4!

First of all: briilliant ideas for a recovery of the GT4 from the SRO !
(without any irony)

And yes - there may be the chance to a GT4-ferrari. Just create a GT4-kit for the old F430 Challenge-cars. (F458 would be out of contetion as these are GT3/GTE, they are too expensive for the targeted cost-cap and would mean another factory-involvement - which would imbalance the GT4).

Whether this option is in the spirit of GT4 remains to be discussed

But back to topic: the current model for 2013 - with the trophy as "guest-races" within existing cups & GT4-series - is a clever option.
It still holds some disadvatages - especially in avoiding date clashes for potential participants - but its a feasible way where I see most win-win-options for all stakeholders of the GT4.

Currently in a discussion in our forum the theory was brought up to avoid the inclusion of GT4-classes in longer endurance races. This should be done to avoid the development of expensive "endurance-packages" which would undermine the GT4-cost-cap, as already seen at the GT3´s

Your thoughts on that?
