This should open things up to the likes of the Corvette C5, Corvette GTR, Mosler MT900, Mustang Cobra R, Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Saleen Mustang etc. etc. <BR> <BR> The control tire story seems to be getting closer to reality, with Goodyear likely to be compulsory fitment to the SR cars, although European entries would be treated differently.<BR> <BR> Unrelated to the above, the prospect of the Gunnar Racing G99 appearing in SR2 has vanished as there will definitely be a 3 liter limit in this class. Kevin Jeannette indicates that "the only chance the G-99 has now is SR-1, but the Porsche 911 GT-1 is allowed in GTO. Maybe we'll take it to Daytona with our GT3-R." His customer definitely wants to run the GT-1 in the Rolex 24.</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>
