The car is not required to use the engine it is offered with (although it usually is), but it is required to be a production engine used in a road car. The GT4 class consists of cars that are much closer to the road cars they are based on over than the other classes featured here. The factory has built the car, same as McLaren build GT4 cars and we are Jaguar's first and currently on;y customer team. This category was called GT2 before 2011, and is called GTLM in the United SportsCar Championship.GTE cars must meet certain specifications designed to keep them closely related to the road cars they are based on. ''As part of the GT4 homologation (rules) you have to create a certain amount of cars to be part of it anyway so there will be more than just our two, but where they go to, who knows,' he added. Here I will attempt to differentiate between the GT classes, so that you may enjoy the sport more fully.
Pirelli World Challenge (Featured in the GTS Class)There are many more racing series that use the GT4 class or feature cars built to this spec, so if you know of any more, let me know. This leads to great racing, but understanding the differences between them can be difficult. GT4 European Series; FFSA GT – GT4 France; GT4 America; GT4 Series; TC America; FIA Motorsport Games; SRO Motorsports Group - Race Centre by MMC; Curbstone Track Events Logo; SRO E-Sport GT Series Championship GTE-Am cars are required to be at least one year old or made to the previous year's specification. Die Rennserie wurde zwischen 1997 und 2009 ausgetragen, bevor eine Nachfolgerennserie unter dem Titel FIA-GT1-Weltmeisterschaft gegründet wurde. The brakes are track-ready Alcon discs and pads, while the aerodynamics of the largely-stock bodywork has been enhanced by small carbonfibre fins on the front, and an imposing wing on the rear.

GT4 cars are often referred to as "Track Day" cars, as they are at price points that make them very accessible to gentleman drivers who want racing experience. GT3 cars have no limit on engine sizes and configurations, chassis construction, or layout, but they must be based on road cars that are in mass production, and a large variety of cars have been homologated.
Sometime in the future, I'll write a post about how GT racing got to this point, but this is how it exists now. Occasionally you will see privateers run older GT3 cars, even if they are not in production anymore. It was the Lancia Stratos HF ( pictures here , specification here ) , a purpose-built vehicle, homologated in Group 4 (500 identical cars produced over a period of 24 months were required to obtain the homologation), and produced in 492 road-going copies between 1973 and 1975. This leads to great racing, but understanding the differences between them can be difficult. This prevents a war of developmental cost increases, allowing the series to keep it a true amateur series. You'll also see GT4 class cars compete in single make series. Of course, as much weight as possible has been shave by removing unnecessary things like the passenger seat and interior trim. These cars must also be available for sale, with an official launch campaign for the road car and network through which the car can be sold. The essential parts of the car will be built to GT4 rules, but you can always do that once you know [the details]. Cars are adjusted to have an almost identical performance level so that driver skill is highlighted, and once a car has been homologated it cannot be modified. The GT4 class is often seen accompanying GT3 classes in series around the globe.

I did not include the Japanese GT500 class of Super GT and German DTM as a part of this guide, because those cars are Silhouette cars; while they may look like their road going counterparts, they actually have carbon fiber monocoques and tube frames, and share as much in common with their road going counterparts as Australian V8 Supercars. The season ahead will see the great race celebrate its 20th running since GT rules were adopted in 2001, as well as its 10th using the GT3 platform.
