The European GT Championship is being broadcast on BloombergTV (yes, the financial channel). Usually on Saturdays. Is anyone else watching?

 

It's hard to watch it here if you don't have satellite tv. I'd love to but i'm too mean to buy a decoder and pay for a service that I would barely use
I can watch the races in real life though, take it!

 

i've watched Silverstone race..my favourite driver/car is Andrea Bartolini and his Maserati...

 

BSE, it can be seen on MotorsTV.

by the way a couple of friends plan to enter FIA GT next year with BMW Z4 so I will proably see it close up from the depo =) =) =)

 

We don't have MotorsTv here, Ingemar
Do you see why I always tell you that I live in a 3rd world country?

 

Thats terrible Giorgio! but I can give you a free pass to the depo next year =)

That will be rocking!

 

'Till i sneak inside a car
This is one of the best serieses btw, they really fight hard!

 

Yepp its good racing with the right type of cars.

Im just wondering if there is a possibillity to run a RX-8 in Europeen GT series? haven't read the regulations yet.

 

Yes, you could. The only problem is that it wouldn't be that competitive because of its small engine displacement and limited power.
We are waiting for a reply from FIA to run a renny in a prototype formula chassis in the uphill challenges and on track. It should run in the 3000cc category against 500whp monsters, that is the real problem.
Al, sorry for this threadjack

 

Yeah but it wouldnt be a renny in the RX-8... I know that wouldnt be competitive. My plan was doing a "Speedsource" =)

 

The problem would explaining that the 2 rear doors are "fake" doors lol.
The Fia rulebook states that a car is a GT if
By the way you can't swap an engine from a model to another, you can just modify your unit to fit in the right series. As an example the f430 that ran in the gt3 used a smaller dispacement to fit in the series but the block was the same.

 

I'm guessing that you mean running the 3 rotor engine. That may work, if you could get the weight down on the RX8. That may open up a loophole, in the regs, that other teams/manufacturers would take advantage of too. And, I mean that in a negative way.

BTW, in case you didn't know, they dropped the GT1 group in the ALMS series.
