Interesting what happened here due to my post, again, I was just guessing according to my point of view made from the races of London and Japan, if I had any sources I would say easily "All GTS's rooster is following an specific FIA regulation due to the partnership" and create a flame war, but again, maybe PD is really following the real FIA specifications for all the groups, or they created their own, I don't know. Obviously we need a proof. If GTS will be at E3, someone maybe will ask if all the cars follows a specific regulation. But until that happens, I was just guessing...

So I've just spent an age trying to work this out.
And I've come up blank.
From what I can tell there are no specific car regulations for GT3.
No dimension limits, engine limits, wing sizes, weight, etc.
It's all about BoP and homologation.
(Reference being 'appendix j article 257a - technical regulations for cup grand touring cars group gt3' on the FIA website)
eg.
" Rear aerodynamic device.
The FIA GT Committee reserves the right to adjust the characteristics of the rear aerodynamic device (wing) of any car in order to maintain the balance of performance between the cars."
The FIA reserves the right to adjust everything it seems.
There is a list of homolgated cars, which no surprise there was no VGT's.
But ...
"The race cars featured in Gran Turismo Sport are classified into categories based on real-world motorsports and tweaked to provide equal conditions during competition.
For example, Group 3 is based on the real-world GT3 class, which includes FIA-approved machines such as the Audi R8 LMS, McLaren 650S and Renault Sport R.S. 01 GT3. It also includes cars like the Toyota FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo, Subaru WRX and the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 that have all been customised by Gran Turismo to meet GT3 specifications. This allows race fans who've always wanted to see GT3 versions of their favourite cars compete with others on the track.
In modifying these machines, actual vehicle regulations were taken into account, including everything from the wing and front spoilers to the steering wheel and instrument panel."

So help me out here.
While I had a bit of fun chasing this up, surely I'm missing something.

Nope you're correct, GT3 doesn't have many technical regulations just a lot of safety regulations but the FIA do slow the faster cars down so their lap times compare with the others. So a manufacturer can build a car that's 20mph faster than the others but the FIA will restrict it before it's granted entry, same goes for downforce if that's the reason the car is quicker than the others. How they do it I'm not sure, restrictors, extra weight, I've no idea.

Huh.
I don't get to see much GT3 here in Oz.
So it not something I've taken notice of.
I assumed I could take a look and easily put this to bed.
Wasn't to be.
I know it's only virtual, so it's unique in that sense.
But interesting none the less.

When I first caught a glimpse of the blue of the Mustang Gr3 I thought it was the BMW M6 GT3 that Kaz raced at 24h Nurburgring.

It's certainly a beastly car
And that Evo with Moon Over The Castle in the background is a new kind of nostalgia Kind of off topic, but night racing anyone?
Mitsubishi VGT is still my favourite VGT and best looking so far in my opinon.

Mustangs on dirt...
Looks like a recipe for disaster if their handling on bitumen is anything to go by.....
