Starter for ten...
The proposal for the GT10 class discussed and voted in at the recent AGM followed the bodyshell standards set by the original World GT class. That's front engined, two door GT cars only.
Discussions about running the class at the 2009 Autosports show came with a request to run shells reflecting those raced in the British GT class. So I've done some research over the weekend, and watched the last BGT round on the box. (that is my excuse and I am sticking to it).
There is a wide variety of cars being raced, and many of the mid-engined and rear-engined cars have available and viable shells for us to race. Ok a couple are slightly older models, but going round the circuit don't think many would notice.
Shame there isn't a widely availble Aston DBR9 or Ferrari 430 :'(
And if we extend the scope to include cars that race in the FIA GT series, a few more come in too. Like the Corvette C6 that is one of the most available shells today.
So that's got us thinking, it we have to run these shells at Autosports then why not extend the list for other races?
The AGM allowed the BRCA 1/10th Electric Circuit committee scope to change the rules in a suitably fair and demoncratic way. See this as an open discussion on what racers think ;)
