And there's an interesting point in the GTE vs GT3 debate, a couple, actually, and both can be effected by the proposed merger of the classes at the ACO/FIA WEC level.
One is cost: GT3 cars aren't that much slower in terms of laptime now than GTE cars at about any track. Yet, GT3 cars are, relatively speaking, significantly cheaper.
The big one for me is an issue that the TUSCC Roar test this weekend may bring up; GT3 cars are designed to race against each other pretty much. GTE cars are BOP'd, especially in terms of top speed, because of having to race against other classes.
That all will be interesting to see how those factors will work out, if the specs even get merged.
