RLR BMW M3 GT-2
Yes it was homologated as a GT-2 (period). here
So it seems the gate has been opened to see RLR and their BMW M3 GT-2 at Le Mans! Lets hope it is soon! L.P. |

I hope it's really and truly a GT2 and not just inaccuracy of the press statement. I'm somewhat wary to consider the case closed until the final entry/classification list is released.

Were do read it has gotten ACO or FIA GT homologation?
BTW Here's the central BMW GT2 topic: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108270 Maybe the mods can merge. |

Does anybody know some people at the WDWT who could ask somebody in charge at the BMW pit? Because general consensus seemed to be that with BMW's reaffirmed WTCC program the possible GT2 mods would be scrapped as GT2S would fit their profile well enough. If it's now truly a pure GT2, I'd love to know what brought the change of heart. Because deep down I'm wishing that we fanboys get acknowledged for once with a "Well, we've seen the blogs, we've read the forums, we felt the waves the M3 GT2 made in the motorsports fan community, so we decided to go with it." Because THAT would be absolutely brilliant, as the M3 indeed made a much greater splash in the fan sphere than any of their WTCC cars of recent years. |

so does it still have a transaxle?
on the other side, they have to welcome the highly changed Skyline soon, so accepting a car a little outside the regs, as long as it's from a big manufacturer, is ok. |

The GT2S subclass apparently no longer exists.

@ JayBMS: VW Beetle = Audi R8? If there will be a GT2 version I don't think it's before 2010 or 2011. |

So could I write a cheque and buy a couple of M3 GTR's for delivery later in the season?
If not I may wait for the Jag. (Cough) |
