Hold you horses, I dont think there is any worry of the Super GT becoming a one make series. The shift in rules for GT500 makes huge sense. The only cars that have won in the class over the last decade have been the Factory supported Japanese cars. So to equalise this out with existing race bred engines (from what i understand these are slight variations on the IRL/indycar engines which then became the Formula Nippon engines) makes logical sense. The cars still look fantastic and seeing the latest generation GT-R follow in the footsteps of the r31,r32,r33 and r34 is massively appealing to the European race fan! Monteiro would be a welcome addition to the Nismo camp, i kind of feel his abilities are a little wasted in the front wheel drive diesels of the WTCC.
