What Happened to GT1?
After looking at the GT1 grid for Road America, there are only 4 cars running: two Corvette C6Rs and two Aston Martin DBR9s. I know the GT1 grid is smaller due to Road America not being a major race and that more GT1 cars may show up for Petit Le Mans and Laguna Seca, but how much longer will these grids be this small for an entire ALMS season??
It is nice to watch two factory GT1 teams duke it out... but it would be better if there were 3, 4, or even 5 major GT1 teams running. Will the GT1 grids get stronger in the future or is this the beginning of the end for them?? What is the future of Aston Martin in GT1? Will they campaign factory DBR9s in the ALMS for 2007 or leave it up to some privateers? How much longer will GM support the C6R program? What other manufactures/teams will join the GT1 class? Not too long ago every one was saying that the future of LM/ALMS/LMES would fall into the likes of GT1 cars. At this point, that seems to be very bleak. Anyone have any ideas of what may happen to GT1? |
