    GT's will definately not be allowed in the ERC in 2008. They are not safe according to the FIA!

    Are they not safe because they are too fast?

    Dont know if they are as safe as S2000's but Im sure they are not as fast(I know it sounds weird). In spain GT's currently run against s2000's and Gr. N's and acording to results and to comments from drivers such as Puras they are behind S2000's in pace.

    http://www.todorallyes.es/reportajes...007-49194.html

    in the interview he is asked about what is THE car to drive, in order to win the Spanish asphalt championship and he answers:
    "Right now, S2000's may be a little step ahead of GT's thats why I think performance should be equalized. I dont know if that could be done by letting more room for improvement for GT's or penalizing S2000's.

    Right now GT's are a little bit behing S2000's on pace. I supose because they are a little bit controlled in specs. The good side of things is that more GT's are comming into the scene, like Piedrafitas Ferrari F360 which seems to be a big project. From my point of view let GT's come to rally, the sport needs as much help as it can get!

    its also worth to mention that in the same interview, Puras remarks that GT's are cars that with low maintenance cost are able to reach for high spots in the leader boards. something that its really important in rallying today!

    Hmm... to say they are slower because they don't have the fastest time on the leaderboard is IMO a bad assumption. Of course, in total on the stage they are slower, but on top speed they are a lot faster. IMO it's quite redicoulous to drive rallycars at speeds op +300Km/h.

    It would be fantastic to see GT cars in IRC. Those cars are very spectacular and on tarmac events are fast enough to fight against S2000 cars, but the main problem of this cars is that they are not full drive cars, they use to be propulsion cars.

    But here in Spain Vallejo until the two last events was fighting for the spanish championship, also was the leader of the championship.

    Have a look to some of the GT-cars seen in Spain

    Porsche 911GT3 Vallejo


    Porsche 911 GT3 Entrecanales

    Ferrari 360 Modena Puras
