I see that the final stage of whining is being prepared

Can't you at least wait until the finish? Might save you some effort if the car hits late trouble...

You don't seriously believe that their advantage is due to design and development. Do you?

No, of course not. Because we all know Porsche and Ferrari are the only ones who know how to built competitive GT2 cars.

I´m getting tired of this. Your favorite makes win races all year long, do you really have to nag and complain just because something does not go you way once in a while?

I see your avatar is a Peugeot. I suppose you also believe the diesels don't have a regulatory advantage .
We are not complaining; we just don't enjoy having the wool pulled over our eyes.

You seriously believe that? I doubt that the average fan will even notice the distinction between GT2 and GTN, especially since the M3 races as GT2 car everywhere else.

The overall winners make the headlines.

It's the 24 hours of Spa afterall, the GT2 Euro Cup is just a half-hearted stop gap measure.

Well, people will remember who won today Spa 24 hours overall, not that GT2 European classification.

Serious question: Are the BMWs in Le Mans/LMS or ALMS/Nürburgring spec?

AFAIK BMW wanted to be in GT2 (and thus get the 45kg weight break) but weren't allowed in by the SRO/FIA...

No, from what I remember (turbomagazin.be article from a few weeks back?) the SRO would only allow them in LM-configuration and even then not in GT2 - i.e. without the weight break.

It's definitely not the ALMS aero kit, it looks very much like the Le Mans-spec version.

The ALMS-cars run with the LM-aero-kit nowadays, though, so that isn't really much of a giveaway anymore...
