[FIA GT] Back to the future - GT2 2011

[Speed-King]

From Stephane Ratel's annual press confernce at Spa (source: endurance-info.com)

« Nous allons donc mettre en place un championnat qui sera très ouvert. Les GT2, GT3, GT4 et GTN seront acceptées. Nous souhaitons quatre ou cinq meetings en Europe sur des circuits prestigieux. La série devrait débuter Ã* Monza le 18 avril. La durée des courses sera de trois heures et les usines seront acceptées. Il n'y aura pas de catégorisation de pilotes mais il faut que les GT2 soient un peu libérées pour un peu plus de puissance. »

Translation:
We will introduce a very open championship. GT2, GT3, GT4 and GTN cars will be accepted. We hope to have four of five rounds in Europe on the most prestigious circuits. The series will have its debut at the April 18 at Monza. The duration of the races will be three hours and factory teams will be accepted. There will be no categorisation (gold-silver-bronze) of pilots, but the GT2 will get a little help to make them have a little more power.


That actually sounds a lot like a) the current GT-only proposals for IMSA and b) like FIA GT was until last year, just moved down one rank. I actually like it a lot and if they have a race in Germany, I'll make sure to be there.
