From what I've heard, there have been elections in the area of San Luis, and the new representatives are not exactly motorsport-minded. In other words, they are having trouble with their permit to hold races there.

The GT rules are a complete mess. We need proper classes back.

that's the perverse effect of the "all GT3 cars all the ways". If a team wanted a good schudule and wanted to have strong line-up to maximize thier chance to win, and also what championship is the most exposed and less costs, the team prefer to go this sort of championship. See the ADAC GT or Blanpain Series, with good coverture and great drivers and tracks. and almost for a few thousand of € or $. The GT World have not really this. As a World Championship, it costs a lot for inscription, so the platine drivers are mixed with gentlemans. And with the Exception of Nogaro and Algarve, the tracks are not so great. And i always find the idea to limit 2 cars by manufacters being idiot. (also the idea to not allowed manufacters teams, but it's not the same problem) And the TV and Net coverage, comparated as ADAC GT or Blancpain, are still poor.

Result of the this mess: GT World screwed himself with all of this. Most of Germans teams prefer to run in ADAC (Young Driver) and the others doing the same with national championship or Blancpain, or even VLN. World GT is a good idea, but Ratel must learn how to keep a championship in good way. Not the same thing as "win the World Championship status".

First, i suggest to him to fusionned the FIA GT3.

GT1 = GT3

GT2 > GT3

GT2 > GT1

Lame FIA fucking up the rules and destroying the best class at Le Mans (2008 was the last epic year).

I just saw some pics of the "GT1" cars (having not really followed the off season) and they're just GT3 cars with big lumpy bodykits. This is a bad joke.

I only know about Sport1+ in Germany and (maybe?) ESPN in the UK. Probably some others, too. But GT1World will have an official stream on Youtube.

Live Stream for Germany http://eurovision.digotel.com/gt1/index.html

So all sport ends up on sport1+ and sport1 is becoming a channel with tv games and soft porn clips the whole day (interupted every 5 minutes by 15 minutes of commercials), great :flag:

Race hasn't started yet, but I believe the Mclaren with Dusseldorf crashed during warmup or something like that. They weren't showing much information.
