Big news so far is Teo Martin moving back to Mclaren, and Antonelli moving to AMG. We are also due to see a pair of new Vantages. Grid so far: PRO CLASS - 5 Cars Antonelli Motorsport - Mercedes AMG GT3 - TBA / TBA Teo Martin Motorsport - Mclaren 720s GT3 - TBA / TBA TBA - Aston Martin Vantage GT3 - TBA / TBA TBA - Aston Martin Vantage GT3 - TBA / TBA Target Racing - Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo - TBA / TBA PRO AM CLASS - 4 Cars Antonelli Motorsport - Mercedes AMG GT3 - TBA / TBA Teo Martin Motorsport - Mclaren 720s GT3 - TBA / TBA Ombra Motorsport - Lamborghini Huracan GT3 - TBA / TBA Target Racing - Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo - TBA / TBA AM CLASS - 0 Cars |

No mention of old GT3. I guess if you ask them nicely, they will find a Bop for any GT car you take there. |

this is a good second league for GT3. Those who can't succeed in Blancpain, this is a good solution.

GT Open has been ok the past couple years. I still miss it being a series where teams can run both GTE and GT3. That was when it was at its best. Wish they would allow GTE cars again. It would bring meaning to the name "open" again. Now its just a secondary GT3 championship. Still credit is deserved for the youtube coverage which is good. I especially like the "international" feed where you hear just the engines and no commentary. Would be cool if others did that.
Still if the series can get 20-25 cars between 7-9 manufactures then it would be good. In 2018, you had the grid numbers but not much manufacturer diversity. Too many Lambos and Ferraris. |

So far it looks like the GT Open will have a stronger GT3 sprint field than the Blancpain Sprint (World Challenge Europe)
