The manufacturer I would think needs to be involved with the Homologation of the car, so Morgan will be fairly well involved initially.
question:

Assuming Morgan have built 200+ Aero 8's (and I have no idea if they have or not)...

how can *anybody* other than the manufacture produce a GT3 car? I might be missing the point here, but as I understand it, only the manufacture can homologate the cars??

if this is not the case, what's to stop me (as a non-manufacturer) gaining an entry for just about *any* road based car? Perhaps I could ask to homologate a Honda-engined Exige for example (you can imaging how much lotus would like/support that idea)?

Having looked hard at GT3, I really am struggling to understand it, there does not seem to be anything in the way of proper reg's, and the acceptance seems more a case of politics than defined rules.

PS. this is not to say I would not like to see Morgans racing in GT
