One has to wonder why no other manufacturer has done the BMW trick recently, ie basically just turn up with your GT3, make few very cosmetic 'modifications' and slap GTE logo on side of it. We all know ACO doesn't care of 'rules' in GT racing anymore - and FIA most certainly doesn't - plus everything gets balanced again and again and again and again anyway so there is no real setback. Of course the GT/GT+ concept is close (of continuing the same idiocy?) but this is easy chance to get your existing model to the biggest motor race in the world without much effort.

You know I hate GT3, but with GTE now being GT3 with no difference whatsoever I would actually prefer to have GT3 instead. Because 10-15 heavily performance balanced models sounds better than 4 heavily performance balanced models. Same-ish speed, same-ish look, same-ish sound, same constant BoP crap, same lack of rules (one never had any and one had but they mean absolutely nothing now)... but other one has more models. And they don't have to keep secret memos of waiver lists because manufacturers demanded so
