    We're exploring a GT3 SILHOUETTE race series next year at several major tracks around the world for GT3 cars with perhaps a more "classic" or one off look.

    Wow, interesting. At this juncture - in napkin-sketch terms - what would be the minimum/maximum criteria to meet?

    The racing bug bites deeper. Great news!

    Is this the same GT3 that are support races to FIA GT1 World Championship?

    Basically you'd start with a GT3 and have a designer create a body that meant something special to you. We could help with design and conversion and several tracks are willing to host this class within their races. The idea would be to put a little more of the "Dream" back into GT racing. Sort of a Show Car/Prototype/Classic racing series.

    Our idea (For Example) would be a class within The 24 Hours of Nurburgring, The 24 Hours of Spa, The 24 Hours of Dubai, a 24 in Asia and an endurance race in the US.

    A lot would have to come together but you never know...

    Sounds exciting Jim and I hope it comes together for you. If it does DIBS on a "Team Glickenhaus" pit pass!! :D

    Hey it don't hurt to ask, right? I could be the "team gopher" lol.

    If that egg is allowed to hatch by FIA, it can spark interest and investment exponentially far and wide for a long time to come. Hope your vision is seen to full fruition.
