Under IGT8F Class Rules your Ceptor body is allowed in both OPEN/PRO & "SPEC".

Only that in "SPEC" paint or sticker it like real GT race car. That could be one color with masked or blacked out headlights with a #on both doors and some real race car Sponsors. (looks awesome in pictures)

The point to this is to keep the "SPEC" class as real as possible to attract newbies. Spectators dont know or care whats underneath the body. Any adult or child can instantly relate to a real car (Super, GT, ETC) OH thats a Ferrari, that's a Macleran, GT-R etc.
This is what will attract NEW people to the sport, not what brand this and that. Then when they are interested and intrigued, you give them simple or in the case of IGT8F "SPEC" SPECIFIC choices. So they don't get overwhelmed and loose interest entirely. Keeping it simple, ATTRACTIVE and FAIR (everyone running same motor and tires) will grow this sport.

Before I decided to even create IGT8F in took my time and experience and analyzed every possible angle.
