However, since they're keeping GT3 and GTE separate they missed a trick. Could've used this to rename everything and have it make sense.
GTE -> GT1
GT3 -> GT2
New GT2 -> GT3
GT4 - GT4
And the new LMP1 stuff could be GTP. Everything would be in 'order'. And IMSA would have GT1 and GT2, which is awesome.

Isn't part of the problem with the rather dumb naming (IMO) that Ratel (or SRO) owns the GT2 and GT4 trademark? I read that on a DailySportsCar or Endurance-Info (probably the latter) article a while ago.
There was no mention of him also 'owning' GT1 or GT3.
