Hi I've just downloaded and starting playing GTR2002. Is there somewhere that details the different GT classes, and rules etc? (Real world not the sim if you know what I mean). Or any interesting links for real world GT class racing? tia Tony

Do a google search for FIA GT and that should return enough results to get you started. dave henrie

If memory serves, there are 4 classes, GT1, 2, 3, and X? X is like everything goes, prototype, things like that. Strangely, I can't find links that explains the rules and such. The FIA site is broken and all they got are long and tedious PDF documents that doesn't explain anything. --KC

Two types of rules: FIA and ACO. ACO rules for Le Mans and the ALMS. FIA for FIA Grand Touring Championship. ACO: LM-Prototypes LMP900 and LMP675 (standing for minimum weight 900kg and 675kg, cars like Audi R8, Panoz LMP001, Bentley EXP8), GTS (similar to GT in FIA, cars like Corvette, Saleen, Ferrari F550-GT) and GT (similar to N-GT in FIA, cars like Porsche 911 GT3-RS, Ferrari F360) FIA: Until 1998 there was a GT1-class (for cars like McLaren F1-GTR, Mercedes-Benz CLK-LM and CLK-GTR, Porsche 911 GT1, today Bentley EXP8 would also count into this class), GT2 (Dodge Viper, Porsche 911 GT2, Ferrari F550-GT) and GT3 (Porsche 911 GT3, Ferrari F355). GT1-class was banned from FIA-GT after the 1998 season. From then on former GT2 was the top-class. GT2 was renamed to GT, GT3 changed to N-GT. > X is like everything goes, prototype, things like that. There isn�t an X-class. > Strangely, I can't find links that explains the rules and > such.

Yes, the pdf-files are very confusing. www.gtracing.net is the official website of FIA Grand Touring Championship. > --KC Hope I could explain a litte bit. Greetings Stephan
