Couldn’t agree more. It would never be included in Blancpain anyway. I couldn’t imagine the politics involved with that.

It’s a big national race. And to just focus on the GT3 cars is missing the point of the race and it’s history. Sure you have the fast cars up the pointy end but then you have a myriad of classes of everyone and everything else and that’s what makes the race great. It’s not just for the elite and the professionals it’s also for the amateur racers and teams with modified production cars.
