GT3 is essentially the next class down from GT2, with a lot of the same cars that you see racing in GT2 racing in GT3. The main differnces is that the GT3 cars are a lot closer to the road models of the original car than the GT2 cars. GT3 cars tend to have around 400bhp whilst the GT2 cars are around 450-500bhp depending on the car.
If one day GT1 is ever abolished I can see GT2 becoming the premier GT class Internationally in much the same way that GTS/GT2 took over from the old GT1 class back in 1999 and what we now think of as GT3 could well fill the shoes of GT2. The cars are still becoming faster and faster and theres not much differnce between the old GT1 cars and the current breed in terms of pace.
If you think GT3 is strange check out Ratel's new GT4 idea. A series for cars of around 350bhp by the sounds of it so really for cars such as the Porsche Boxter, Nissan 350z etc, but thats for another thread.
