As to the ACO forcing gentleman drivers into GTE, where the frack were they racing before? Oh, thats right, GT-2! GTE-Pro and Am is no different than a GT-1/GT-2 scenario.

L.P.
This is either the U.S Open or the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which one do you want?

And please spare me the "Gentlemen Drivers and Teams" are the lifeblood of the sport. No it ain't they can always drive in Porsche Club, BMW Club and Viper Club events. There is also Patron GT3, Ferrari Challenge, Grand Am Cup, even World Challenge, even Grand Am if you must.

The plan is to put one Pro (Gold) and one Bronze (limited experience/gentlemen) rated driver in cars one or two evolutions from the current offerings. This not GT1/GT2, the cars are just faster because they have a bit more aero, a bit more power and better drivers.

GT2 became popular because GT1 became so expensive and nobody did anything until it was too late.
