Pretty sure there was a red GT MkI as well (GT40 if you're confused). 👍

I now what they areI just didn't pick up on the fact it was one haha
Just thought I'd clarify to anyone else reading- some people get confused when you just call them GTs rather than the adopted name of 'GT40'. 👍
You could be forgiven for mistaking it as a (new) Ford GT especially in the lighting, but the MkIs have a really distinctive rear end- plus they're a lot less bulky.

I thought it was the current Ford GT, the stream quality wasn't that good anyway.

Definitely a MkI Road Car.
Hopefully the MkIV will be kept premium. Otherwise I'll rage.

Yeah, it's slimmer and lower than a Ford GT. The GT40 will be a fun car to drive 👍

Really looking forward to it now, I'm feeling hopeful we'll get the GP version of Brands Hatch too.

With regard to future WSC's, I would be VERY interested in introducing Brands Hatch, Silverstone, and Bathurst to the series.

They will surely add both Brands Hatch layouts to GT6.
Also with Bathurst, does anyone think will they include the version without the chicane at the end of conrod straight as an 80's version

Looks like a GT500 GTR.
Also chaps potential entries?
Abarth 1500 Biposto Bertone B.A.T 1 Concept '52
Following the advances made in aircraft engineering throughout the Second World War, aerodynamics began to be applied to the world of car design.
One car that typifies this new idealogy is the B.A.T. series designed by Bertone in the 1950s. B.A.T. stands for Berlinetta Aerodinamica Technica.
The most famous in the series of these cars are the B.A.T. 5, 7 and 9, but the forerunning car was the Abarth 1500 Biposto coupe, displayed at the 1952 Torino motor show.
Later called the B.A.T. 1, this car was based on a Fiat, unlike the later models which were based on Alfa Romeos. The 1.5 litre engine powering the car was Abarth-tuned up to 74 BHP.
The greatest impact this car had was of course its styling, a piece of work by the famed designer Franco Scaglione, a newcome to Bertone at the time. The car not only showcases his aerodynamic engineering skills, but is a mixture of stunning originality and cutting edge style.
The front of this car is an unforgettable sight, with triple headlights protruding forward with dynamic air intakes situated in between. The large rear window is a two part design, separated by a thin centre pillar, and melds gracefully into the rear section. The rear wings sport accented vertical tail fins that would become an extremely popular design feature in American cars in later years.
Only one of these cars were ever produced, and was purchased by the Packard Motor Car Company after the Torino motor show. Although it remained hidden from the world for many years since, Mr. Chris Drake from the UK fully restored the car in recent years and presented it at the Pebble Beach Concours dElegance in the summer of 2010, where it received the Gran Turismo Trophy.
Underpowered a little but a candidate anyhow?
10 years after the end of WWII at the 1955 Frankfurt show, BMW debuted its first sportscar since the famed 328 of the 1930s.
The 507 was a luxury open top sportscar that was developed to compete against the Mercedes-Benz 300SL which debuted in the previous year. Its flowing form was even more graceful and beautiful than the 503 luxury coupe and Cabriolet which debuted at the same time, and received praise from all over the world. Its styling design was by the prodigy of Raymond Loewy, Albrecht von Goertz.
The specially designed chassis was powered by a tuned up V8 OHV engine inherited from the 501/502 series. The 3168cc engine produced 148 BHP/24.0 kgfm, enabling the car to achieve a top speed of 124 mph. Attaching the hardtop designed for the car, it was also possible to transform it into a flowing coupe body.
Despite its beauty and performance, Germany at the time had not fully recovered from the damage from the war, and many of the public were still unable to even purchase family cars. Meanwhile, BMW only produced an extreme lineup of high class cars continuing from before the war, and the Isetta bubble car. The situation was placing a great financially strain on BMW, and though the 507 aimed to be less expensive than the Mercedes 300SL, its high development costs drove its price up into the same high class price range as the 300SL. Subsequent sales were low, and only 252 of the 507 were ever produced from the end of 1956 to 1959 when its production was stopped.
The BMW is around performance of the 300SL, perhaps could join that?
GT40 Mk1, Cobra Daytona, Ferrari Dino, Lotus Europa and Alpine premiums all have a very good chance. Maybe the GT40 will be good with the Challenger and Camaro RM's (the old Class C2).

Probably not. PD tends to only include variations they can go to to get info for. (probably why Fuji 80s and 90s are gone...) I was hoping for Silverstone's Bridge GP Circuit, but it doesn't look like they're including it.

Furi, you'll need to learn to restrain yourself from including everything under the sun into the GT class.
Those 50s cars are great, but that Abarth should not be sharing a track with your prototypes, it's way too slow. Your thought of going back to the C2 class with RMs and cars like the Daytona and GT40 seems like a much better idea. 👍

Or grab an Alfa or two and get a Classic Touring championship together...
But right now, a return to the old C2 class seems good. Let us see what else GT6 brings though.

C2 would be the most authentic championship I think... and it will sound the best... Shame there aren't any 512s or 917s in there
