Why Andrea Bertolini does not drive this year, Bartels team partner? ... (I know that Bertolini brive Supertars series, but he was before the start of the season Vita4One designated driver.)

he probably drives where Maserati tell him to drive .. and he's driving a Maserati in Superstars so that makes sense

Very good racing in this championship.
Just saw Prince Albert Thurn und Taxis getting frisky with his Lamborghini. Filipe Alburquerque taking the 2nd spot on the podium ahead of Paolo Ruberti in the Porsche. |

good race, not as close as Monza but good example of endurance racing. The apparent lack of interest worries me slightly - I can't understand why there'd be more interest in the official European GT3 series over this - but really looking forward to the Spa 24 Hours, especially if anything like the predicted entry list shows up.

Hopefully they get more commentators for the Spa 24H....other than that I hope this series can really pick up and gain more of the longer endurance races and become a proper world championship series.

These teams already have the option of (providing funding is forthcoming, obviously) competing in several large endurance events across the world (e.g. Nürburgring, Spa, Dubai, Hungary, Barcelona, Sepang, Bathurst etc + Daytona, as of next year). Not to mention the various national championships already listed by others. |

The current combo of International / European races with National Championships is a good mixture. But FIA will never listen. They'll push for World status, probably try to sink GT Masters, and other local championships with huge prizes, a lot of teams will go thinking they'll win nice money and 2/3/4 years later the thing turns sour. I am, of course, looking forward to Spa. Should be wonderful. I was at Portimão for the first round of the FIA GT3 championship. I wasn't paying much attention at the race itself, since I was partly busy with other commitments, but the cars are great, and there's still a following. They could merge the 2 but I'd hope they would expand the schedule to include some other circuits, like Portimão :P |

Great stream of the race too, which again begs the question, why on earth can't the ACO do something similar for any of their affiliates, which theoretically, should have an even bigger audience?
