Massive accident in today's race. Both drivers checked out fine at the hospital. Some poor driving standards and amazing physics at work.

Almost unbelievable that they got away from that without injuries.

PWC's GTS class is essentially GT4 as well..I more than welcome it, but there still needs to be some GT cars that are pretty far away from what's on the street

In essence, no. Though I suppose you'd have a hard time getting a SIN or KTM into GS... with GT4 being in kind of a rough shape in most of Europe and no ST class to fall back on (IMHO a huge mistake), the organizers have been somewhat desperate for entries and let in pretty much all cars they could somehow BoP to the rest of the field, whereas GS still is exclusively for relatively high volume production cars.

I'm not sure on the exact differences, but I think aero is the biggest difference between CTSCC and GS. It seems pretty simple to go from CTSCC to PWC's GTS or CTSCC ST to PWC's TC

Conti series is basically like old school Trans-Am. A true stock car touring series. GS cars don't have wings or spilters unless they actually come with the car. Like the Z/28 Cameros.

We have that already, it's called GT3.

GT4 is just fine as a concept as it is, but it needs better promotion.

Here's something interesting: Maserati will switch to a new car for their one make series for next year, but all the current cars will be transformed to GT4 specs and offered for sale.

There was news today that mentioned IMSA will allow gt4 cars into their series on a case by case basis. Which got me thinking the new cayman gt4 was allowed, but are others? I know there has been an Aston from time to time but not sure if it was gt4 spec.

The Astons are "a" GT4 spec.... GT4 itself hasn't been static and IIRC the GS-cars didn't get all the latest goodies that the GT4s have over here.

Naw, that's more of a GT3.5 kind of car... Think of it as a competitor to the Porsche Cup-cars or Audi's SP4T TT-RS (though they don't build those anymore).

... and some of the current one-make Trofeo cars possibly being converted to GTX/GT4 specs for the upcoming Gulf 12H in December: http://sportscar365.com/gt/gulf12h/g...t-r-s-01-cars/

This could indeed be a very interesting end of the year for the Gran Turismo.

According to gt-eins the KTM X-Bow GT4 has the potential of a GT3 car without all regulatory restrictions.
The car is racing with 150 kg ballast, the engine could have 360 HP and 7200 rpm and is being limited at 320 HP and 5000 rpm. It also has several aerodynamic restrictions too.
I would like to see this car unrestricted, in one of the many second line series that accepting not homologated GT3 cars.

It seems odd that Porsche would homologate and produce a GT4 Cayman only one year before a switch to 4 cyl turbo in the street version - unless the 6 will be an option?

well, perhaps they know the strengths of each engine and the 6 is better suited to racing? Plus I'm guessing the gt4 homologation is for a number of years just as the gt3 is.

I'm sure the 6 is better for racing for some time to com - ages of development behind it but the point is that the car will only represent the street version for 1 year, how liberal will GT4 rules be? It also would diminish the PR value to Porsche.
