Looks and sounds good.

Why is it called a 'mule'? Is the exterior likely to change much?

It's bits and pieces thrown together to test particular parts. That's usually what a test mule is.

Maserati needs to develop its racing capacity and capability, so GT2 likely perceived as a less risky reentry into racing.

Penultimate round of the European GT2 series coming up this weekend at the Ricardo Tormo race track in Valencia (https://www.gt2europeanseries.com/event/80/valencia), but no announcement yet that Maserati will take part with the new MC20 GT2.

Is Maserati delaying the race debut till the final round at Paul Ricard?

Apparently, that is precisely what Maserati chose to do, but now finally: https://www.dailysportscar.com/2023/...t-weekend.html

MC2o GT2 debut

The Maserati had a fantastic debut in the GT2 championship at Paul Ricard, setting pole in the qualifying session on Friday (https://www.gt2europeanseries.com/ne...-claim-am-lead), and getting a P2 in race 1 after leading most of the race (https://www.gt2europeanseries.com/im...sification.pdf). Also, a very credible P7 in race 2 after getting a 10 second penalty for breaching pit stop rules.

That's great but they need to do a GT3 version for what is a much more competitive level.

Something more like the Maserati MCXtrema, perhaps? Recent video of the MCXtrema (blue), the GT2 (black), and assorted other cars testing at Misano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqkj3bGAAcg

Thanks, yes I saw an upload over the weekend of it running. Looks and sounds amazing?

A track day only special at the moment but could it really be a GT3 test mule as well?

Two more teams have announced they will be racing the Maserati MC20 in the European GT2 Series:

https://www.gt2europeanseries.com/ne...-with-maserati
https://www.gt2europeanseries.com/ne...class-maserati

So, three teams so far: LP Racing (defending champions), TFT Racing, and Van Der Horst Motorsport.
