Subaru_WRX_STi · 28 Jun 2010, 09:31 (Ref:2719138)

on E-I forums, the WRT Audis could be in G2 !

911targa · 28 Jun 2010, 10:15 (Ref:2719162)

unfortunately ProSpeed will only run one GT3 R.one of their GT3 RSRs will be driven by 3 or 4 gentlemen
Trackspeed should race 1 or 2 GT3 R for 24h Spa,their RSRs havent been use for a long time,maybe one of them has been sold

argh, why are the FIA so determined to kill this? Time companies use sportscar racing to compete and there's nothing like the 24 hour races for this promotional opportunity - that's why Hankook paid for Farnbacher to do the N24.

Hope that other tire manufacturers would be allowed the same weight breaks as other GT2-Michelin cars if they enter G2/3 but won't hold my breath.

Also, did IMSA Performance specifically say 2 cars would be entered? If not, I'd guess it'd only be a single car entry.

I don't see why not, they have a couple of 08 Spec cars sitting around, as well as there Up to date LMS chassis.

Why spec tires? I assume because it brings money in the pocket of SRO and/or FIA.

Ask Lou Gigliotti or any other boss of a team that was/is uncompetitive due to unavailability of competitive tires...

And spec in this case doesn't even mean single supplier, but merely: "built to a pre-determined specification". E.g. there are Dunlop and Michelin "spec"-tires in GT3.

I see Michael Waltrip is planning on continuing his plan to contest Spa for AF Corse. So I guess not all three cars will be run in association with Vitaphone?
