Thanks for starting this.
My hopes are for another Bimmer M4 GT3, and a to see Audi, Ferrari and Porsche return in some capacity. I wondered if Academy are thinking of running a GT3 Mustang, or will they stick to GT4 with the new car? |

Pretty sure they said only GT3 Mustangs in Europe in 2024 will be in WEC and GTWC

I am guessing the following just for a bit of fun chat;
GT3: 2x Century M4 2x 2 Seas Merc 2x other Merc 2x Barwell Huracan 2x Optimum Mclaren 2x Other Mclaren 1x Beachdean Aston 1x Other Aston or Huracan 1x Tempesta Mclaren 1x TBC Ferrari 1x TBC Porsche 1x Academy Mustang??(can hope) Will anyone plump for a 2nd or 3rd hand Audi R8? Will SRO keep the max 17 car class or 34 cars overall limits per meeting with the exception of Silverstone? |

Tempesta have a new 296 GT3 either ordered or already in possession. Gut feeling is we will see one more additional 2024 spec Aston alongside Beechdean, you've got to think that AMR will want some presence here in year one of the new Evo. I do believe 35 is the limit |

Yes I read some more about Fords plans. They are expecting SRO series including in Europe to be their biggest market for 'Stang' privateers. Simil GM have been suggesting similar views about the C8 GT3. But hey expect to deliver selected customer cars, including to Europe later next year. Hopefully we might see one in British GT! |

Shame the Spa round is so close to Le Mans, two successive continental trips is difficult for people with jobs and/or families.

I see Century have entered 2 M4 GT3’s for the Dubai 24hrs, could this be a hint to 2 cars next year?

Yes I noticed this too. Be great to have 2 out next year. Guessing one driver would have previous GT3 experience and the 2nd might be a graduate from their GT4 cars.

Why would you want to go to Silverstone twice????
They can't even be bothered to open the 'right' grandstand on the pit straight so that spectators (who they are totally not interested in) can see down the main straight! Once is more than enough! |

Sadly Thruxton no longer seems to be considered, a great shame.

Thruxton pit lane is too small for British GT. They never went back after the chaos in 2008.

Why is it necessary to have pit stops ? Pit stops have a tendency to break up exciting races rather than make boring races exciting. What is the duration of a GT3 car on a tank of fuel ? Snetterton and Oulton will be holding two one hour races as Thruxton used to. I don't recall refuelling in those races, although I may be wrong. Just hold separate Pro and Am races or is that too difficult ?
