M3 GTS and the GT4 class
Possibly I'm the only soul on this forum who likes GT4. It might not be the most exciting from an engineers point of view, but it's affordable, the cars are reasonably well matched with races that are very close and a lot of different winners throughout the championship (at least in Dutch GT4). Furthermore the cars are more exciting as some of the championship cars they replace (BMW 130i cup in the Netherlands) and finally I wouldn't exclude the possibility that it might occasionally trigger a manufacturer to bring more motorsport oriented models on the general market.
This leads me to the recently introduced M3 GTS. This car seems to have GT racing written all over it and it could fit right into the GT4 class with very little modifications. This gives me good vibes, very motorsport oriented models road legal and raced close to standard spec. I like it as long as costs don't run out of hand.
