VDS posted their GT racing calendar and it's basically Blancpain, N24 and 3 or 4 VLN rounds, so they're confirmed too.

Are that many question marks necessary?

Anyway, looks like a solid field so far. Still some time before the season starts so more entries should be on their way.

NightStalk3r · 31 Jan 2013, 19:55 (Ref:3196718)

Will be interesting to see how the 911 GT3 RSR compares with GT3 cars

Lots of them are unconfirmed and others are based on team confirmation by Ratel, maybe are 2 entries instead of 1 and maybe in the wrong class. but anyone feel free to update, surelly some of you can be more precise than me, but i tried to recopilate the data from EI, with the lesser error possible. Anyway we are just on start of february, the unconfirmed list is normal.

Feel free to update it and confirm wharever seems clear.

GT3.14 · 1 Feb 2013, 20:30 (Ref:3197639)

The GT3 Racing (surely they could do better than that?) R8 LMS is for sale. Heres to hoping they got a new one.

Probably not, they have already announced their participation in the Supercar Challenge with a Dodge, see http://translate.google.com/translat...challenge.html

Not sure what they'll do with that Audi if they don't sell it.

WoW what a grid!!!!, if MVDS confirms only would enhance it if Loeb had chosen the BES instead of the sprints.

Okay 997 GT3 R, it's clear i'm not fan of Porsche, neither someone who tags their cars on the sameway as a Racing GT specs, being the stock GT3 a Road car.

That's awesome news! Especially the pro car. Should be a good lineup.

Simmi · 4 Feb 2013, 19:02 (Ref:3199197)

Not really a surprise I don't think but a very quality addition to the series in JRM. I think Blancpain has been crying out for more GTR's.

jaguarista · 6 Feb 2013, 12:38 (Ref:3200152)

There will be a GT3 Jaguar with the Emil Frey Racing throughout the season of Blancpain and the next 24h of Spa

Koenigsegg · 6 Feb 2013, 14:12 (Ref:3200190)

And VDS Adventures want do the Spa in their VDS GT 001-R.

Coach Ep · 7 Feb 2013, 11:58 (Ref:3200657)

Race Art - who already skipped the last two rounds last season - have sold their Z4 and will concentrate on Supercar Challenge this season, see

http://translate.google.com/translat...d_in_2013.html

jondownunder · 7 Feb 2013, 13:29 (Ref:3200714)

A note for those planning on going to the Silverstone round: Auto GP has now joined the support bill, replacing a cancelled Russian round. Formula Renault NEC had already been confirmed as a support. Vast improvement over 2012!

I assume the Lambo Super Trofeo will be there as well, but I've yet to find a full 2013 calendar listing Silverstone... they do say the series will run alongside BES as usual.

There might be an other GT3 this year at RaceArt garage with the planning to do Supercar Challenge with it and some single races in different championships like British GT at Zandvoort, BRCC, GT-Open at Spa and VLN. And who knows, maybe the 24h of Spa.

But RaceArt will be represented in the BES with an other new company as an official partner of a PRO team

Besides that we plan to enter one or two Porsches in the BeNeLux Carrera Cup.

if you are interested you can follow us on Facebook: Team RaceArt

DB Motorsport? DKR?

DeathOrGlory · 10 Feb 2013, 13:22 (Ref:3202384)

I'd definitely feeling an all GT Academy alumni JRM GT-R.

KA · 10 Feb 2013, 19:01 (Ref:3202500)

I suspect the latest crop of GT Academy graduates might go wherever the RJN Nissan entries go now they've been turned down by British GT, rather than with JRM's entry.

Maybe we'll get 4 Nissans in Blancpain this year? Autosport reported last week that JRM planned a pair in Blancpain, and that the rejected British GT entry from RJN was for two cars...

Rodger Davies · 10 Feb 2013, 19:54 (Ref:3202526)

last year they ran the two in parallel, did RJN - would hope their able to do 2 again, but won't count on it now - British GT makes most sense for them logistically.

JMH have already confirmed a car so it could actually be five.

Rodger Davies · 11 Feb 2013, 00:40 (Ref:3202648)

JMH haven't really confirmed though, it was more of a "anyone want to pay us for BES?" announcement, unless I missed an update where they have the funding in place.
