Works Chevrolet and Aston Martin drivers Oliver Gavin and Tomas Enge have welcomed the move by Le Mans organisers to abandon the new-era GT1 cars from next year.

The ACO announced on Thursday that the 2010-style GT1 cars, which run in the FIA GT1 World Championship, will be replaced by a two-tier GT2-based class from 2011.



Quote from the article:

"GT2 is where the manufacturers want to be. GT1 in the ACO and Le Mans Series is a dying category. "In most forms of motorsport there are too many classes, too many categories. It would be great if they could come together." GT1 pole-sitter Tomas Enge added: "I'm really looking forward to one GT class. I love the DBR9, but I said years ago there should be one class. "This year we have 18 GT2 cars and next time we will have over 20 so it will be great, a really hard fight." Source: GT1 class to be eliminated from Le Mans next year Rate this story Rating: 1 ...
