FIA GT rules stipulate that 25 cars need to be built before any car can compete in the following season, so it is clearly an impossible task to expect such numbers to be constructed during the balance of 2000.<BR> <BR> This number of Mantaras and Storms haven’t been reached, but these models are allowed to compete because they were already running before the creation of the current FIA GT Championship. 25 S7Rs are likely to be built well in time for 2002, but any waiver of the current rule seems unlikely.<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
