Yup that's what I meant!  Another new big idea for a series?

WGT never really got going. I thought at the time and I still do that SR would have been better off launching WGT with GT3 regulations. This was because the GT3 concept has taken off world wide like Superbikes did and you would be able to have invited wildcards in at most of the races. Therefor a smallish contingent of teams doing the full series could have been supported around the globe by the top guys from the local series.
Anyway I wish SR and his team well for what ever they try next as well as what else they are currentley running. Thoroughly nice bloke and deserves some sucess.

I never really understood why he decided to can the old FIA GT Championship in favour of the GT1 Champ. Even during its last season, there was a strong mixed field of GT1 and GT2, despite all the entrants being aware of the new regs. Very odd.

This is what I've suggested previously on here, make the European GT3 Sprint series out of existing national GT3 races. The British GT championship already has 'away days' at Spa and the Nurburgring (and Knockhill ) so you could initially double them up as points worthy events in both the National and European series. Likewise I'm sure French and Belgian GT3 car owners would happily pop across the channel and an hour up the M20 to race on the Brands GP circuit along with the BGT grid.

I've completely lost track of how many GT series there are and who organises them. Seems to be a new class and/or series ever other week. Is Ratel involved in the Blancpain series?
