Natacha Gachnang (cousin of F1 Driver Sebastien Buemi) just had a massive impact during the qualifying of the FIA-GT World Championship Race at Abu-Dhabi.
@WayfstrthnU Finally, GT1 is the only international GT racing series (that is, visits multiple continents). All other racing series take place on one continent only (mostly Europe and North America, but also Asia)
@WayfstrthnU also, Le Mans Series uses a different system (they used to use GT2, but now it's split). In Le Mans Series and American Le Mans Series, GT2 has been split into GTE-Pro (professional drivers) and GTE-Am (amateur drivers with 1 professional driver per car, uses older cars than Pro). In ALMS, there's also a GT Challenge class (currently only using Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars)
@undeny GT and GTR are generic terms for grand touring cars (fast cars with a focus on comfortable long distance travel). GT-R designates a racing GT. Some manufacturers call the regular models GTs (Ford GT, Ford Mustang GT, Nissan GT-R) while some use it to designate the racing models (Mclaren F1 GT-R). GT1, GT2, GT3, and GT4 are all different car categories in FIA GT (though GT2 is defunct currently). This is GT1, GT3 and GT4 also get their own racing series. Lower numbers=faster/better cars
I had a Ques...tion! What's the meaning/significance of the letters GT/GT1/GT2/GTR respectively? Specifically, what's the difference race/event-wise and if the make/model of a car has any of those letters attached to it? Gimme the guts & bolts ;)!
