With GT3 prices skyrocketing, I wonder why GT4 cars aren't getting popular.

pablocomics should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
GT4 is no popular because there are no Ferraris and no glamour. Sounds a bit stupid, but it's quite close to the reality.

....and you can drive much faster with one of those Seat Leon Supercopa. The lack of speed is an aditional problem for the GT4, with less budget you can drive a CN prototype.

In fact the GT3 killed the touring cars in Europe because why are you going to run a Ford Focus S2000 when you can run a 458 on the same price?

Actually, that didn't happen at all. Touring cars self-destructed. None of the traditionally strong touring car markets (UK, Denmark, Sweden) was taken over by GT3-series.

Supercopa is right there with the GT4s, not much of a difference at all...

By now only Porsche has followed the British cars with impossible prices.
Does net price mean with or without taxes?

Doesn't sound very credible, to be honest.

Without, I believe.

Do we have an official price for the Porsche yet?

Here in the States, the Pirelli World Challenge GTS class racing has been fantastic. The grid has consisted of about twenty cars all year. The cars aren't quite as sexy as their GT3/PWC-GT class big sisters, but the GTS machines are still pretty awesome.

Does anyone know of any info on the Cayman GT4 in this video? It has been testing with the GT3 R. Is it a Cayman GT4 for...GT4? Or some other rule set? Unless it is a junior cup car I don't see anywhere but in GT4.

I think it's PROsport Performance Cayman for GT4

Those cars were a really awesome addition at Road America.
I'm also excited to see the Audi TT-RS from Compass 360 Racing later this year.

The Cayman GT4 was tested a couple of times in Monza, since april. The week before easter, when the video was realized. At the end of july Porsche Motorsport was in Monza second time around, for a couple of days, with two Caymans (one white, the other black), Bergmeister being one of the drivers. The car has been announced as a customer GT4 project since the last winter, probably they see a profitable market there. Some july 31 pics I took can be seen @

A new video of the M6 GT3 on track. The wastegate is very loud.

The good bit starts at 0:50. 991 GT3 also makes an appearance.

Yep. But isn't there a R8 cup in China/Asia so maybe those cars (16-20?) are included as well?
