The GT4 Southern Cup is the new French GT Championship.
Nice to see Pau. |

Comparatively....compared to the 30 GT3s that they had 6 or 7 years ago, 17 GT4s are nothing to get excited about. When you consider how badly Oreca messed up the series in the last few years, though, it seems like a solid first step in the right direction.

2017 GT4 European Series
Updated my expected entry list for both Northern and Southern Cups, thanks to Racing Harz on the Southern Cup.
I think we have a heck of a field in the Southern, 23 cars potentially so far. even if it is mostly Caymans. Northern Cup isn't quite as big yet, but certainly more diverse in terms of selection of cars GT4 Euro Series 2017 (Northern Cup) GRID Las Moras Racing / Equipe Verschuur - McLaren GT4 - TBA Las Moras Racing / Equipe Verschuur - McLaren GT4 - TBA Sean Walkinshaw Racing - Nissan 370Z GT4 - Charlie Fagg / TBA Sean Walkinshaw Racing - Nissan 370Z GT4 - TBA Allied Racing Team - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - TBA Race Perfomance - Ginetta G55 GT4 - TBA GP34 by GEMO Motorsport - Maserati Gran Turismo GT4 GP34 by GEMO Motorsport - Maserati Gran Turismo GT4 Academy Motorsport - Aston Martin Vantage GT4 - TBA Reiter Young Stars - KTM X BOW GT4 - TBA Reiter Young Stars - KTM X BOW GT4 - TBA Reiter Young Stars - KTM X BOW GT4 - TBA Reiter Young Stars - KTM X BOW GT4 - TBA Reiter Young Stars - KTM X BOW GT4 - TBA Reiter Young Stars - KTM X BOW GT4 - TBA Reiter Young Stars - KTM X BOW GT4 - TBA Reiter Young Stars - KTM X BOW GT4 - TBA (Southern Cup) Grid Rivera Motorsport - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - Christophe Hamon / Lonni Martins Race Perfomance - Ginetta G55 GT4 - TBA Team Speed - Ginetta G55 GT4 - TBA Team Speed - Ginetta G55 GT4 - TBA Team Speed - Ginetta G55 GT4 - TBA TFT - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - Niki Leutwiler TFT - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport (possible) CD Sport - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - Mike Parisy / Gilles Vannelet CD Sport - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport Martinet by Almeras Motorsport - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - TBA Martinet by Almeras Motorsport - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - TBA GP34 by GEMO Motorsport - Maserati Gran Turismo GT4 GP34 by GEMO Motorsport - Maserati Gran Turismo GT4 IMSA Performance - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - TBA IMSA Performance - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - (possible) Autovitesse - BMW M4 GT4 - (possible) Autovitesse - BMW M4 GT4 - (possible) LD Racing - Porsche 997 GT4 - Jean-Luc Le Duigou / TBA LD Racing - Porsche 997 GT4 - TBA Flat Racing - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - TBA Speed Lover - Porsche 997 GT4 - TBA Eric Tremoulet - Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport - Eric Tremoulet / TBA Duqueine Engineering - McLaren 570s GT4 Last edited by Bcarr6; 7 Feb 2017 at 16:05. |

Northern Cup will have the 8 KTMs again this year... so that's a nice boost to the overall grid numbers as well!

Autovitesse in Southern Cup is the Ekris M4 GT4, not the new BMW M4 GT4.
GP34 by GEMO Motorsport is looking at some of the Northern Cup rounds, not all. Focus on the Southern Cup. There will be some new arrivals in the Northern Cup, looks like a strong grid there as well. |

Great entry, glad to see Meyrick back at it, always think he's deserved better, maybe this is the road to a McLaren GT3 factory role one day?

Correct, all Southern Cup rounds as well as Brands Hatch, Zandvoort and Nürburgring - which means they'll be fighting for the GT4 European Cup and not just the Southern Cup.

Ekris had a video up on Facebook talking about the new M4s they built over the winter, so I'd expect them back in the Northern Cup.

Forgive me if this is a daft laddie question but I haven't really followed GT4: are the Ekris cars entered as BMWs, or under the Ekris name? The M4 is a lovely-looking car, and I like that the Ekris machines are still straight-sixes.

IIRC they are usually referred to as "Ekris M4" on the entry lists. Makes sense to me, especially with the official BMW M4 right around the corner.

I would have thought there would have to be a set level of modification for the cars to be rebadged, like (I guess?) with Callaway. But I'm really no expert.
