Well, just in case, here's some official articles on the Camaro GT3 http://www.endurance-info.com/versio...ance-9170.html
and the Gallardo GT3 http://www.worldcarfans.com/11201023...CarFans.com%29 Both developed at least partly by Reiter |

camaro is too much heavy in my opinion, 1300kg was good for first generation of GT3 cars, but the new produced gt3 cars should have a weight of around 1250kg or less to have some chance to be still highly competitive after a massive bop (infact audi did the r8 lms ultra most of all to make lose weight to the old r8 lms, the same is doing the mercedes with the 2012 model of their sls gt3, even if is hard that will have a weight less of 1300kg). Nothing to say about the engine, the usual insanely large and low rev/high torque american v8, God bless the TCS.
Watching the gallardo i think that all manufacter for their 2012 models will use that kind of super splitter! they'll shift most of the downforce to the front of the car hoping to gain a bonus of downforce that the remaining bodywork can't generate to improve the handling of the car. Mercedes and mclaren used this spec in 2011 and at least for the sls the trick worked. |

(I still would love to see this on track.) Plus that Camaro looks nasty. (In the good way) Now someone give it a livery that works and put it out on track. |

Sorry about the double post, but what is going to happen to the Fast Forward Motorsport Camaro now that the Sareni Camaro is nearly finished?

Fia GT 3 Camaro Fasforward-Motorsport
The Fia GT 3 committe autorized Fasforward-Motorsport to homologated the Camaro see below link from the Fia publications.
http://private.fia.com/web/fia-public.nsf/vchp/302/$FILE/GT3_Chevrolet%20Camaro_24.06.2011_67.pdf?Openelement And as far as I've been able to check at the Fia publications there is no request or permission to Reiter/Sareni for the homologation of the Camaro Fia Gt gt 3. Wondering about the end of this story , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5Yl0q9s_VI |

I don't see any problem with letting them together. It would be interesting to see which one is better developed.

Any GT3 car can run GTWC provided it's homologated for international racing I think. I don't see them running into any problems with the number of road cars built.

It probably could be, although the car is new and the team partnering with Reiter only want to run in Blancpain or European GT3 (one or the other cant remember which).

From Yaco's website, they only want to run in the ADAC GT Masters and the European GT3 Championship if possible.
However, on Sareni United's website they have Asia and Brazil listed for 2012 and Australia for 2013. Just noticed on Sareni's website, in legal section, Swiss Racing Team gets mentioned at the bottom. Last edited by I Rosputnik; 5 Jan 2012 at 11:29. |

Yaco is the Reiter project isnt it? Keep on getting these two projects confused with each other.
