One question though. I think it was Hindy who repeatedly mentioned that new GT3 rules are just around the corner, and that they should address some of the concerns that ACO have about using the current GT3 in the WEC. Also I've heard somewhere that BMW's forthcoming 4-wheeled monstrosity called M4 GT3 is being built to the those new regs. Is there any more info available on this?

Other than the M4 and the Glickenhaus 004 there haven't been any new GT3 cars out for quite some time, even though the two most established players Ferrari and Porsche are both running outdated models in GT3, which have been replaced in showrooms years ago. Simultaneously Maserati took a rain check.

PS: on Wednesday in an interview with MWM Toyota's TRD chief made some strong hints about a brand new GT3 Lexus coming, as in based on a completely different platform, perhaps LC500 or something yet to debut. It's unclear how soon though.

PPS: the class "ladder" has been broken for over a decade. Time to rename GT3 maybe? Especially now that GT2 is a class below it alongside GT4...
I hope its the rumored LC F in GT3 format. The RC F is on its way out imo. As far as new regs GT3's, only the M4 from an already established make so far. That will probably change very soon.
