GT-Eins should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridGT-Eins should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid

Correct - I forgot the italian Cayman-Cup - where the cars are accepted as GT4 in the European Cup also.

Despite the poor marketing (no cooperations/JV-Events with Aston-/Cayman-/KTM-Cups) also the race Format is i.m.o. more than poor regarding a FIA-Top-series for a european-sportscar-class. 20 minute races will not encourage europe-wide trips for the teams. A similar format than the GT3 (2 50 or 60-Minute-races) would be more satifying - or what do you think?

Even the Blancpain offers a more attractive format but 3 hour races are a lot more demanding to material (and costs) and also the GT4 are the 4th fiddle in the orchestra and almost invisible, regarding PR-wise.
