[FIA GT] GT3 European Championship 2011

[I Rosputnik]

Only a few months now until the GT3 season begins, so it now makes sense to have a general discussion thread.

First we have the Smolensikring in Russia as a brand new race. This will be the first international race in Russia, and Stephane Ratel has plans to use this race to help get a race for GT1 next year. Think the track will work for the GT3's then?

Here's a lap of the track.

Also Michelin will be providing the prize for this years champion. A €150,000 award and entry into the FIA GT1 World Championship.

We might even see a Chevy Camaro racing later in the year -Summer-, with Sareni United developing the car. More details should emerge at the end of the month. -Hopefully-

And here's the Calendar

7th and 8th of May - Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, Portugal
4th and 5th of June - Silverstone Circuit, United Kingdom
2nd and 3rd of July - Circuito de Navarra, Spain
16th and 17th of July - Circuit Paul Ricard, France
