Never say never I am sure the faithful Marcos will make an appearance at some point.

I’ll take that uber rare Can Am McLaren over the Brabham happily

It is indeed a cracking list, and very close to the one you have been compiling over the last months, very good work.

I differ slightly on the SB Race Engineering car though. In the last few days we have lost the Brabham & Marcos for variety, replaced with another McLaren ( ok slightly different model ) and another Lambo, but that's a very small price really, i'm being very picky !!! Certainly won't stop me making the trip up on Saturday.

2023 entry list on a slow burn for GT Cup this year, although theres still time til the start of the season and entries usually do come in later, I doubt we will see the list reach the 37 or so we saw last year.

I would love to see the series show 25-30 cars this year, they run Snett twice a season which I always try to attend at least once, always a nice quiet event compared to BGT there.

From the GT3's announced so far, looks like Enduro have a easy run towards the championship..

Also non offical announcements include a LP620 Super Trofeo ran by Matty Evans along with a EVO 2 Super Trofeo ran by Blackthorn.

Orange Racing aka reigning champions are also back so I don't think Enduro will have it easy at all.

GT Cup on there website have said they've had unprecedented demand so if thats true we have a way to go with entries.

Grahame Tilley is entering GTO class now in the Merc rather than GT3 to allow him to run a larger restrictor

Weren't those E46s? Those cars must be almost 20 years old by now and all the other cars in the series have become much quicker, so it's probably not much fun to race and run them anymore.

Used to be that a decently modified E46 GTR (homebrew, not works) could hang with the Porsche Cup cars of its day. But today's Cup cars are of course much faster than back in the 996/7 days.

GT Cup looks less and less like a lower tier race series to British GT every year. Yes the calibre of factory driver isnt as high, but grid counts, quality and quantity of cars, quality of racing, is all much closer to BGT this year and to some extent last year too.

I quite like the AM only sprint races, its a nice point of differentiation to other GT series, gives the AM's seat time to sharpen up, and allows for a format as a whole that gives teams 4 chances to win each weekend. Only down side of the short races is a safety car can almost completely wipe it out. Add another 10 mins maybe
