The GT1 championship makes me think of Trans-Am revivals in the last few years: it's all about finding a place to race old but still good cars. Now I'm not sure the others are going to enjoy losing to cars from the big 3 (AMR, Maseratitaphone, Corvette) that have been winning 24 hour races in the last 5 years. It can work if Porsche, Ferrari, BMW or Audi bring one of their cars to GT1. Or it can fail if entrants get tired of racing in a potentially costly world championship, racing races that are too short and pale in comparison to LMS races and LM, or if the performance balance means the old cars with all the development beat the newer ones and make it impossible for all but the usual suspects to win.
