Default Realistic look

I for one want the realistic, manufactured car (p zero sitting with mask applied,2weeks). Then you’ll see guys have clear windows and all the wires you can see through 😆 lol

Martini and Gulf colors will show up on every body. As will the Mr Goodwrench #3 scheme.

You made it sound like the McAllister body was some sort of fantasy concoction. It is actually a good representation of that car.

Also, this is another case of people making up standards of what will be allowed in the class in their heads. I will now change the name of the class to "Looks like real race cars (excluding DP)", since the GT portion of the name has iron clad requirements. Worst thing I ever did was just replace the RC with US in RCGT. Who knew trying to revive a fun class would turn into a 24 hr whine fest.

Rob, just keep doing what you're doing....it's not your fault the some people don't understand the difference between a real GT car and a prototype. This is a great class, lots of bodies to choose from and a spec tire. I run USGT and 17.5 TC and Gt is my favorite class because of the (mostly) realistic looking bodies.

And GT1 and GT2 in SCCA allow tube frame "silhouette" cars.
BTW, the TA2 Mustang in the pic runs in which class with the SCCA?????? Answer: GT2.

"GT badges have been tacked onto a variety of vehicles over the years, making the designation one of the oldest and most thoroughly abused in the history of automobiledom."
