That is is quite impressive and says a lot about PWC now. I don't recall Vita4one ever racing in the USA before. There BMW's were very strong in SRO in 2012. 2013 however was not so good.

RLM midweek motorsport dropping a hint about Bentley's being in PWC with a prominent team. I think there is something to the rumors with Dyson racing for sure.

With the huge GT3 presence, I still think that the Cadillacs will be the favorites to win week in and week out.

It's going to be hard to beat the Cadillacs if they're allowed to run as they did last year. The GT3 spec machinery must run as homologated (w/ shocks being open, except for inerters and <= 4 way adjustable).. so that means no adjustable ARB's, launch control, or gearing.

But, I'm pretty confident the series wants a good show so I think the cars will all be pretty competitive... the Cadillacs are just going to have a few more things to play with.

True: Let me see the car on track at race day and I'll believe it!

They've been announcing a lot plans lately but failed to show up. FIA GT Series last year for example (although I heard Zandvoort was just really really unlucky with a last minute ). They did a few ADAC GT Masters races though...

Well, the fact that Bartels himself is listed as the driver gives me some confidence that they'll actually show up. At least dropping out due to a lack of a paying driver won't be an issue then.

Enjoy!

For those not in the know, JCR is a long time Audi user, more recently using an older spec Audi R8

I was thinking that but wouldn't the drivers have sponsors they would want to advertise?

Maybe I'm a bit pessimistic but we have to wait until the car turns its first lap. Vita4One has had quite a few races in 2013 where they did not show up inspite of press releases.

I wish them good luck, though! The black and green livery is quite iconic (no matter if it's a Maserati, Aston or BMW).

The placement of the Christian broadcast channel logo seems to be a little high but otherwise I like it. Red/black looks better than blue/black of last year.

I really like the aero of the new car, it looks mean with a proper rear wing unlike the GT America.

New car? It's just a GT3-spec 997 GT3-R. Nothing new there. Sure, it does look better than a GT America, but that's not exactly a hard bar to reach.

Not so wild about the GOD, but otherwise it's a decent livery.

New chassis' for them this year. Should have looked at the taillights closer, though they were 991s. These have a smoother front end and different fenders than their old cup car had.

Turner turning their Z4 back to proper GT3 spec and entering the race at St. Pete. Didn't see this coming.

What was all the comment about Turner being slightly outside the rules at Sebring? Heard several loaded comments aimed in their direction, got the impression they were maybe still using some of the aids that are supposed to be restricted in GTD?
