So essentially disregarding the new Porsche 911 RSR (Type 991) this years Le Mans car, there were three existing Porsches.
911 GT3 RSR (Type 997) - FIA GTE/GT2 regs
911 GT3 R (Type 997) - FIA GT3 regs
911 GT3 Cup (Type 997/991) - For porsche supercup and national porsche cups
The Alms GTC car is the 911 GT3 Cup while the Grand-Am Porsche was a mix up of all 3 with Grand-Am aero?
I think i have that right and the new Porsche 911 GT America is based on the new 991 shape Porsche cup car (probably with extra bits + grand-am aero)?
So its essentially a replacement for the current Grand-Am GT Porsche. But what i still don't understand now is which Porsche will be eligible to compete next year, will the guys currently running Grand-Am Porsches and Porsche Cup cars need to buy new cars to compete?
