Will we see any GT cars homologated in 14, or will this class never be 'born' ?

I"m afraid it is a stillborn baby.
With the rules FIA made, it's not interesting for manufacturers. And only manufacturers can homologate a car... I think GT cars are only to be seen in national championships, where the rules are more free. ;)
You are not right, since January 2013 R-GT cars can be homologated by a tuner. It's the only class where manufacturer is not needed.
Do we know any tuners that are in process with a GT car for rally yet?Quote:

I have no idea if some tuner works on FIA eligible R-GT car but otherwise there are plenty of privately built GTs under national regulations in France, Spain, Belgium or Germany.
BMW 1er is eligible to be rebuild into almost any rally car as it is normal touring car with two rows of seats.
In the Monte Carlo Entry List (http://www.acm.mc/documents/4/LISTE%20D ... IORITE.pdf), there is Marc Duez (Belgium, Number 50) in a Porsche in class RGT listed. Anybody knows anything about this?
According to specialstages.be (http://specialstages.be/2013/12/21/porsche-monte-carlo/), Duez will be driving a Porsche Cayman. They also say, that the FIA Teechnical Passport that is necessary for an R-GT car will be valid for 2 years for that chassis number. So there is a chance the we can see future appearances of him and/or his car.
Do the same R-GT regulations also apply for the ERC?
Yes, the rules saying that R-GT car can be given FIA technical passport without manufacturer homologation apply for all FIA events since the start of 2013.
Seems my earlier source was not correct. Duez will drive the PORSCHE 996 GT RS owned by Carlo Mylle in Monte, if FIA Pasport is accepted.
