deimh should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The link that lists all the Aston's got me wondering how many of the slightly more plentiful GT3 cars might have been built - so I have started trying to compile how many separate Ferrari 458 GT3 cars were being raced across the various series between 2011 (first year of the 458 GT3) and 2016 (first year of the 488 GT3).

I am hoping to see a shift of 458 GT3's from the larger / prestigious race series to the smaller / less-prestigious ones.

So far this is what I have compiled across the below Series:

Year **** A **** B *** C *** D *** E
2011 **** 7 **** 7 *** 0 *** 0 *** ?
2012 *** 19 *** 16 *** 0 *** 3 *** ?
2013 *** 35 *** 30 *** 2 *** 3 *** ?
2014 *** 30 *** 21 *** 4 *** 5 *** ?
2015 *** 33 *** 24 *** 1 *** 5 *** 3
2016 *** 13 **** 7 *** 1 *** 5 *** ?

Where:

A = Total Ferrari 458 GT3
B = Blancpain Endurance Series
C = Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe
D = Australian GT Championship
E = 24H

Its interesting to see how the 458 GT3 is most plentiful in 2013 and then starts to fade away in these "premier classes", despite still being produced by Ferrari up to the end of 2015.

Can people point to which other Series are most likley to have included the highest number of separate 458 GT3's so I can try and make the above analysis more complete and try to "confirm" how many 458 GT3's are likley to have been produce?
