Would be pretty confusing considering there is already a class called USGT based on quite different specs/rules. Again I get your class and its lower running cost compared to 17.5 GTP 1/12th scale... and if it's popular/growing the hobby then more power to you. I just think it should have been called something other than "GT12." Spec-12 or Touring-12 perhaps.
