The FIA GT series is a blast to watch. I just started watching this year and I'm definetly goin to watch every race. I like the GT side of endurance racing way more than the prototype side, and the only time I'm interested in prototypes is Le Mans.

Well it is nice to see that the Morgan Aero Super Sport swept the poles in GT-3 and won the 1st race

Oh definetly. It's also good to see AMR getting into GT3. They back the Hexis team.

Nice debut victory for KplusK, with Karl Wendlinger and Ryan Sharp..
It amazes me that this Czech team purchased the ex-ACEMCO Saleens, goes out there and places first and fifth with machinery that has been sitting on the sidelines for close to four years..
Add to the fact that the Saleen S7R is in its 9th season of racing, and still beats the Maserati MC12s and Corvette C6.Rs... The S7R has always been my favorite GT1 car, I'll admit that. But it's extraordinary to see this beast still killing the competition almost a decade after it's debut. Imagine if a top team properly developed the thing? | |

While I would agree good for KplusK and the drivers. I find it amazing that you would laud the performance of the Saleen compared to the Corvette and MC12. When the performances of the Corvette and MC12 were at normal levels to each other! This, at least in my uneducated opinion, clearly shows that the Saleens have been given breaks (large ones) to make them competitive.

I would really like to see the ACO and FIA work together on this new GT1 World Championship, and have the 2010 GT1 cars race at Le Mans.
