    This is fantastic. This would be great and real competitive. We will see great cars, homologated (so maybe some road versions would be come out) and a high competition between the drivers. I would like to see though some P1 GTRs, Aston Martin Vulcans, FXX Ks to compete in a series.

    Oh my..

    Can you imagine seeing F12, Aventadors, Vanquish, Vipers, Corvette's all racing in GT1 again?

    no news, we had a brief outlook from Stephane the weekend we raced in Barcelona. I guess they just open the entrance for old GT1 Cars alongside with the Ultracar Sports Club as a few old GT1 race horses are stored at the SRO owned MMC racecenter.

    I'd love to see some new GT1 cars but question is the plattform and therefore the ROI for the Investors (Manufacturer championship or customer sport??) . GT3 is a good businesscase as you can run the cars over a few years in several championships, WEC is for manufactuerers and AM's where we have the GTE class with a few cars and I doubt there is any space left for a GT1 revival at PRO level.

    today you can win the 24hours of Spa at 1/2 of the costs you had back in the GT1 area.

    Ratel talking about GT1 and Hypercars again.
    He said:
    *GT1 still exists today. They are called Vulcan Aston Martin or Ferrari FXX McLaren P1 GTR. The goal is to establish a link with GT1 yesterday.
    *A true championship for Hypercar could only do the ACO. These cars would make the crowd dream. ACO has the right event for this.
