Concerning the "trickle down" of GT3 machinery; just about all national GT series have older cars. Iber GT, Nordic GT, Brazil GT, ADAC GT, FFSA, Belcar, British GT, Aussie GT etc. And then there are things like VLN, Intl GT Open and the likes. IIRC the national homologation forms are for seven years.

Funny, a world champion, that joined a championship organisation, which is a global business, makes a big motorsport announcement to join one of the toughest touring car categories and thinks he wouldn't have media commitments everywhere he goes. Yeah right. He's getting that Red Bull money.

Is there some sort of info page on the PWC because right now I don't really know what I'm watching. I don't quite get the differences in classes and why there are multiple races and so on.
I think I can tell that TC= Touring Car and GT= Grand Touring. But no idea what the class specs are.

Here is what the different classes consist of.
They also have multiple races as there are too many cars to have them all in one race (117 entered this weekend).

Sound thing with houses near by in the uk at most tracks they do static or drive by or sometimes both.
From personal experiences there's only 2 tracks in the uk that don't enforce(unofficially because officially they have to enforce it) and that's Knockhill and pembrey.
I've spent many a time walking tracks finding were the noise measures are then telling all the drivers where they are so they then lift at that point so not to trigger as if you did you got black flagged and DQ'd. (IF any msa officials read the above its a lie as I would never promote breaking the rules.....)
The worst was croft even the minis we raced which were only 98db drive by triggered them and we all got kicked off but that's because the wind carried the sound further so we had to wait for the wind direction to change.
Loudest ive heard was my mates V12 Vantage GT3 it allegedly tripped it at 130db with the silencers removed and the air restrictors.

They should give up this subpar coverage. Terrible timing and too many jumps to different parts of the field.
Also now that the one driver I know of (Christina Nielson in the 07 Aston) in the field got punted by a Porsche, I might just stop watching
.
Sounds like there is a GT Academy driver in the field? Looks like there is a GTR with the right livery but I'm not certain. The commentators did say something about GT Academy though.

These guys are really lax on leaving cars on the track and avoiding full course cautions.

I'll take both of those things over the insane amount of commercials and fluff pieces you get with TV broadcasts.
Brian Heitkotter is in the field.👍

I cringed when he said "Guh-LARD-oh". I'm okay with him mentioning sponsors, though, even if it is annoying. But he does need to get better at it.
And maybe I'm spoiled by NASCAR, but they need to get at least one camera in the action, rather than pure trackside. Not to mention switch around the field more, especially when the callers are talking about something but the screen remains on the leaders.
