Oh, yes, GT3. Where our favorite supercars and big cars go on an extensive fitness regiment, fitted with wings and punched holes on, painted in war colors, and driven by fast drivers. Many cars will cease being GT Racers from the end of this season, like the BMW Z4 GT3/E/LM, and a new car comes in as well. Others get just a refresh, and some will keep using the car as long the production version hasn’t been axed or is still proving to be competitive.
Now, this list isn’t gonna be complete, at least until all GT Racers have showed up and I can Google entry list names so I can code a slider-thing like on the FP, but for now, here are the new GT3/E/LM/D racers that will debut either this year or the next, with notes:
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (replaces Z4 GT3, with restricted version of road-going M5/M6 4.4L V8, also comes with MOAR NACA ducts)
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (new GT3-only 911 racer, with FENDER VENTS GAAAH!!!, also hood holes, bigger wing, as well as equal wider; engine from new 991 GT3 RS road car
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (based on new R8, the one with the V10, because it’s powered by one, comes with swan-neck wing pylon)
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (engine of reliable and winning SLS GT3; aggressive retro-modern grille; questionable choice of second color; will replace SLS GT3 after one year of competing side-by-side with new one)
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (revealed last year, racing this year. Replaced the CTS-V.R with TTV6 power and more wider but more shorter, too; now built for world GT3 stage because more ‘Merica)
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
And stop. I still do not know about the Ford GT-3/E or the Ferrari 488 GT2/E, because they’re not here yet, but all we know is that those cars will follow suit in no later than 2016 for the Ford, at least.
The Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, Ferrari 458 GT2, Bentley Continental GT3, Aston Martin Vantage V8 GTE and Vantage V12 GT3, McLaren 650S GT3 and Corvette C7.R are the rest that won’t get replaced (yet) and will be here to stay and fight for at least two more seasons. If you see any Viper racing, those are privateers, though it’s better than nothing.
As you can see, the class is stacked and filled with so many cars. So many, in fact, that it’s getting hard to choose which to pick. Though if I had to choose, I’d narrow it own to just three: either the ATS-V.R, the Porsche, or the M6.
If, of course, I had a race team of my own.
I will update this thread with non-camo pictures once they have been revealed.
Update 1: Changed Porsche, Audi, and BMW’s pictures; shorn Glick’s car off the list

You know it now. I'm fairly certain that once a private Viper decides to change cars, they're gonna go for this.

The ATS-V.R looks absolutely sick. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 is damn fine looking, but not as sinister and absolutely because fucking race car as the ATS-V.R.
The C7.R also looks (and sounds) really mean, and I don't know which to root for...

For some reason I read that as "old school v8 goes out" or something like that
