Whats happened to the FIA GT?

[AJI]

Just been watching Eurosport and the GT racing In France...... now called the Open GT Championship or something like that.... where is the FIA GT this year?
There's no Saleen S7's, no Ferrari 575's, no front line racing DBRS9's.... the 'Open GT championship' seems to be just GT3 racing class.

That wasn't FIA GT, it's a new little Championship with largely Spanish and Italian teams.

FIA GT Championship kicks off next weekend at Silverstone with all the usual suspects and many more. Should be a great season.

phew, thats a relief ! I thought the whole thing had been down-graded to just GT3 class for a minute.
