Nope, all of them built by the respective teams. (Farnbacher)-Loles said that they planned to run modified GT4s in 2010, but that of course never happened.

Yeah, they basically said that it would be so expensive to buy and import one it was cheaper to build one here. Some of the issues were:

Lack or roll cage tie in to suspension mounting points
No door beams or knee bar in cage
Clutch not legal
Brakes not legal
Would have to switch to standard ECU
Super trick carbon doors not legal
I think you get the drift.
