I'm a little surprised at some of the negativity about this idea... I love the sound of it. Even if there were indeed only a handful of GT1s with a bunch of GT2 Porkers and Venturis (I loved the Venturis in the mid-90s so I've got no issue with that) it's something at least for those of us who were fans at that time.
Will be watching the project to see if it looks like a trip to Silverstone in May would be worthwhile. |

I'm definetly making the trip to see this happen. Even it was just a few high profile cars (Couple of Mclaren's, F40's and 911 GT1's I'll be happy!).
Does anyone have an idea as to whcih weekend in May it is? Speedblood |

Here we are, quote from fiagt.com "...GT 90’s Revival Series. This two-event series, running at Silverstone and Nogaro with the FIA GT Championship, will be open to all cars which competed in GT events in the 1990’s, including the glorious GT1 cars of that era". |

I'm assuming it is. Be great if they had the FIA race, this series, and a group C race on one day! HEAVEN!!!

I don't think there's much chance of Mercs or Toyotas, but a couple of McLarens, F40s 911GT1s and a Lister or two, with a reasonable turnout of 911GT2s, Venturis, Marcos, Lotus, early Vipers and the like should be worth a look- One or two of the more unusual cars that appeared in BPRO and early FIA GT races should still be around somewhere as well, and it wolud be good to see a couple of those- remember the Callaway Corvettes, and the original GT2 Morgan? |

I appears that at least one TVR Tuscan will be entered.

One of the Callaways was destroyed in a garage fire last year I believe, Ithink the Tuscan is a Challenge car rather than the Tuscan R yes?

I am entering a Tuscan Challenge car in GT3.
I am told the organisers already have interest from an F355 Challenge, 2 to 3 Venturi 400, two Venturi 600LM, 2 McLaren GTR, 2 Porsche 911 GT1, one F40GTE... and it is very early days yet... |

I'm sure I've seen a photo somewhere of a Tuscan running in French GT or similar around 1999/2000-ish? |

The series website has some contradictory information. It says that the 2nd race will tak place at Nogaro as stated by Staphane Ratel in the DSC interview but the site also states that the second race will take place at Hockenheim with the ADAC GT Masters. What to believe?

I'd go with Hockenheim since it appears several times in different places: in the series presentation and events section for starters, with contact details for the circuit and race timetable: Friday, October 12th 10.10 – 10.40 Free Practice 1 30’ 15.10 – 15.40 Free Practice 2 30’ Saturday, October 13th 08.25 – 09.00 Qualifying 15/5/15 13.35 - 14.20 Race 1 45’ Sunday, October 14th 10.55 - 11.40 Race 2 45’ On the home page it says Nogaro...but where all the detail appears it says Hockenheim |

Wonder if that Quaife GT1 thing will be wheeled out. Looked a good car but struggled for reliability?
