One Dutch outfit have built a kit that up-specs a 911 Cup/ SuperCup GT3 to be a GT4 car and that must be a good way to go, given the amount of 911 knowledge and support there is around. It doesn't have to be a Ginetta! Mind you, given that there are at least 4 x second hand Ginetta G50 GT4s available for sale at the moment for £28-35K each then I guess its not surprising that people do choose that car in the UK.

In 2014 the AMOC GT4 cars are going to run at 4 events as a support race; if the GT3 class is as popular as it was in 2013 then maybe at these 4 events they should run the British GT4 class together with the AMOC series to give a stand alone GT4 race.

I see that Blendini Motorsport are to campaign a pair of 997 Cup cars in GT4 in 2014. £50K plus VAT per driver if you have got it! I expect that's an accurate figure as a mate of mine drove in GT4 this year for £60K all in.

It will be interesting to see how they get on against the usual Ginetta G50s and it will be good to see something different in the class.
