GT12

What do we think of the name change (from GT3)? Avoids a fight with Porsche and race cars will also be rebadged. Good or bad?

Have they changed it? Stupid if so as GT3 at least ties it to the racing series rather than just a random name.

Think they're changing the racing to GT12 as well.

Don't think there is any contention over the race side as Porsche is purely claiming they have GT3 road car naming rights, but I guess AM want to keep the connection between the two so are changing both.

Any history of the GT12 name within AM?

Why would you call a car racing in the GT3 class, GT12? I do get the try and differentiate the road car from Porsche, although I don't see the point with the racing car.
