You are spot on, its the bespoke GT3 cars that I was really thinking about (what you refer to as the second generation), and it was seeing a couple of Ferrari 458 GT3 racing at the Old Timer GP a couple of months back in the German FOC event that made me start to ponder this.
Do people think that there are between 500 and 1000 of these second generation GT3 cars out there? And are they all gathering dust somewhere, or written off / broken-up?
Also, your answer implied that there is a 3rd Generation of GT3 from 2015 onwards - is this the case and how do these differ from the 2009-14 cars?
