IDK here's what it listed for Europe
77 Methley David GB Chevrolet Corvette 2005 7000 G2/GT2
And for this weekend's COTA race
777 Methley, David GB Chevrolet Corvette C6 Grid 3/GT Yellow 2005 7000
In results document for Spa it lists it's only competitor in the class being 2002 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (G2/GT2), but in other press release it says it won the "GT2 category" over Ferrari 430 GT2 (G3/GT2)
Anyway I think it's this

Only car I could think of is a couple years later with the Giglotti built GT2s being 07 or 08s I think. Only other thing is the number just divisions that also use GT2 in the US and it being an SCCA or TransAm car.

Or the Marklund car from Denmark that appeared one year in LMES possibly? Mind you the Marklund car was more of a road car so I’m leaning towards it being an LG car

It's most definitely not the Riley GT2 Corvette
Anyway you can see it making the turn here this weekend, just after the black Corvette C5-R GT1/GTS
https://youtu.be/4TslAGIfrHQ?t=48
Would be great opportunity for more F1 fans to see these amazing cars... if they weren't binned to 8am starting slots when F1 sessions are in the afternoon...

The USA series is at HSR Daytona 24 this weekend which means they've been thrown to very confusing categories, groups E and F and their further sub mishmashes
http://hsrrace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019-Entry-List-to-Post-by-Group-11.6.19.pdf
http://hsrrace.com/wp-content/uploads/Classic-24-Groups-2019-FINAL-11.6.19.pdf
C5-R, C6.R GT1 and C7.R all in one weekend, just C6.R GT2 is missing (unless it's there somewhere as the list is all over the place)
Will Lanky be filming this weekend I wonder

Interiew with the series founder and Nic regarding the 2020 season
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE-keDvZoIY
The heavy penalizing of pro-drivers rule for 2020 and acceptance of more modern GT3 cars is annoying but can we lived with I guess
Meanwhile that was one mixed top 5 grid in qualifying at Sebring this weekend
1) Lola B07/18 LMP1 1:51.698
2) Peugeot 908 HDI FAP LMP1 1:52.930
3) Coyote-Corvette DP 2:00.960
4) Audi R8 LMP1 2:02.635
5) Oreca FLM09 LMPC 2:03.080
Onboad with the said Lola

Pretty wide margin between 1st and 5th. I'd probably make more effort to follow this is if there was a better effort to bring the performance of the different chassis closer together.

And I'd stop following this immediately if they started manipulating it like every other series involving non-spec cars is doing now. It's good as it is
Anyway obviously most of the gaps come from these amateur drivers and people looking after their priced possessions. We all know Peugeot 908 would not be losing to older Lolas otherwise and so on
