Best of the rest?? I wonder why no GT's were entered? Perhaps saving resources for LeMans?
 
Sam will not be pleased...:biggrin
 
This was a GT-2, GT-3, LMS class race. Matech is racing GT-1

I was wondering what they did with the GT-3 cars that they ran for the last few years?????? Apparently, they have not been sold to other GT-3 teams.
 
Did you happen to notice the AP Racing brakes on that car? Another major win for AP!
 
Possibly they were being used/cannibalized in the GT-1 builds. I had thought someone else in Europe was going to run GT-3 with a GT.
 
Gt3 car are still intack, there are used as trainers.
The drivers start out with GT3 cars & after some seat time in the GT3 car they move up to the GT1. As to limit the possible wear and Damage of a GT1 cars.
