Also if we had to rank the top 5 victories in the world of GT racing (GTE & GT3) how would you rank them. I've got:

1. GTE-Pro LM24 Win
2. Overall Nürburgring 24
3. Overall Spa 24
4. Rolex 24 GTLM Win
5. Bathurst 12 Hour
I'd say the prototype world championship second only to Le Mans overall victory, though way behind. If Sebring was still in the WEC, I'd have the series title behind also it.

Then again, I don't necessarily even rate the WEC title in GTE over the IMSA title; WEC may award the world championship but I think IMSA has the better GTE (GTLM) class. Anyway, I'd rate those titles below the biggest single-race victories in GT racing.

Regarding Nring 24h vs. Spa 24h, I can't choose. Nordschleife is the biggest challenge and that race means a lot for the German brands, then again you have more manufacturers participating in the Spa 24h.
