With Audi leaving GT3 in the near future it will be interesting to see what the impact is on teams, drivers and GT racing in general.

Yeah, especially ADAC GT Masters might be hit pretty badly, as there traditionally are a lot of Audi teams there.

Another evo of the R8? I thought the R8 was going out of production as a road car so Audi would have to find a new base model. I suppose that would be possible since BMW and Lexus both use sedan-ish machinery. But does Audi have interest continuing in this arena with the move to F1?

In tegenstelling tot Audi, waar er geen opvolger van de R8 in zicht is en de toekomst in de GT-sport na 2024 dus uiterst onzeker is, heeft BMW met de dit jaar nieuwe M4 GT3 in ieder geval voor de komende jaren een competitieve GT-auto in huis.

In contrast to Audi, where there is no successor to the R8 in sight and the future of GT sport after 2024 is therefore extremely uncertain, BMW has a competitive GT sport with the new M4 GT3 this year at least for the coming years. car at home.

Rene de Boer is a well informed journalist. I admit in this quote he's less strict on "no future in GT racing" than I remember from other quotes of him.

Audi is known to be interested in electric GT racing.

https://sportscar365.com/industry/au...at-least-2024/
https://sportscar365.com/ev-racing/a...tx-world-tour/

Probably not for 2023, but maybe eventually.

Thought about it as well. As BMW has M4, why can't Audi have RS5 for GT? But, I guess, they won't be bothered with GT3 anymore.

I think the reason is more Audi wants to move to electric racing.

Last week the Ford Mustang GT3 was launched. The project is a cooperation between Ford Performance, Multimatic and M-Sport.

First customer is long time Porsche outfit Proton Competition. The German team will enter two cars in FIA WEC. Ford has also announced a two car GTD Pro entry in IMSA.

The car will make it's debut in the 24 Hours of Daytona.



More info:

In my opinion it's a great looking car. Maybe it's optical illusion but the GT3 looks more slender compared to the Mustang in Supercars.
The rear wing is impressive.
