Blancpain, from what I can gather. The longer races have more success with the local ''''amateur'''' who are also able to split funds between the 3 or 4 of them, adding to the fact that participating is cheaper than in the other anyway.

Blancpain entrylist:

Aaand it's confirmed Slovakiaring added to the 2012 GT1 calendar on 8-9-10 June:
http://gt1world.com/news/article/revised-2012-calendar-released

What that doesn't mention is that San Luis was dropped! http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/ ... -released/

Ah fuck this shit, no San Luis or Zandvoort (not that there would be enough space for both GT1 and GT3 at Zandvoort)...

And the series now only races on two continents. Three is required for a World Championship. I guess FIA has already waivered this then.

FIA make it up as they go along to suit themselves.

No Zandvoort sucks balls..

So...GT1 starts this weekend at Nogaro with their GT3 cars. All bullshit aside, the races should be good I guess.

Are the GT1 cars adapted GT3 cars, our are they really just GT3 cars?

AFAIK they are slightly adapted (bigger wings for example if I'm not mistaken), but really nothing substantial lol.

in other news: Valentino Rossi will be driving a Kessel Ferrari during the first round of the Blancpain Series next week in Monza

Kessel Ferrari, eh? How many parsecs are they good for?

[/nerd]

He's screwing his own series, that much is certain. Blancpain Endurance Series is a MASSIVE success with 50+ high quality cars + drivers, but with that series and the GT1>GT3 transition, he's left with a sad little FIA-GT3 European Championship. FIA-GT3 is also racing in Nogaro this weekend, with currently an incredible amount of...12 cars.

For fucks sake, please.

Still curious how the hell they are going to officially explain the continent deficit. FIA must have already given "ok" or something and stripping the WC status would put the series even deeper shit, so I don't think that is going to happen... Some forum rumours said San Luis had local issues (financial) there, might that be sort of force majeure situation because it happened so close to the start of the season?

For sure ACO wouldn't object getting the WC status for GTE.
