I admit that it's wishful thinking, but maybe when the grid is oversubscribed, manufacturers put their foot down on these types of pointless changes? I would like to hope because the balance seems to be somewhat decent in FIA GT3 sanctioned series. But swallowing one's pride might be too much for the ACO.

It was there testing for 2 days alongside a few hypercars running the new led position panels. Can't find any videos though.

I read on an X post that GT3 in WEC for 2025 will be switching from orange to green number panels. I think that is a great move!

Total rubbish. I can’t believe they are doing that. They should be orange. Is it a pro class? No. So not green. Why they never made them paint the wing mirrors orange too I’ll never know. If they can’t be orange tor whatever reason then pink. Obviously. Typical ACO. I’m not watching. Anyone want to buy a television?

It's mostly useful from a TV graphics/live timing point of view. Red and orange are too similar.

Aren't GTD (non pro) cars in IMSA using the green? Makes sense, much easier to tell apart from from red than orange.... unless you're color blind.

GT3: ACO style
That is a good point. Red and green! It’ll be like watching Wales Ireland at rugby for the colour blind.
It’s a joke. |

Matador is 100% correct. Meanwhile I disagree with Adamr43's comment 100%. There won't be a GT3 pro in WEC anytime soon. So what is the point there. Green counters Hypercar red better and lines up with IMSA GTD Am.

I'm voting chartreuse myself, brighten things up and give us Miami in the late 80, early 90s vibes. Hypercar should be a neon adjacent purple, extra points of your Hypercar is hypercolor too

Nope. No color looking like a flag allowed. One exception, female marshals underwear. As to what can be displayed ont the panel, I want the driver have a keyboard and can show messages in answer to RC decision. Like "F your fin DT bro!".

€5m budget for a GT3 car for next season. Ridiculous and unsustainable.

I know in some ways this sounds like a mad thing, but is that a lot for a world championship?
