Story from Autosport.
"A new historic series for GT cars from the 1990s, launched by FIA GT Championship boss Stephane Ratel, will kick off at Silverstone in May.
The GT90s Revival Series, which will begin with the two pilot races in 2007, aims to recreate the glory days of the Global Endurance GT Series in the mid-1990s. It will be open to any GT1 or GT2 cars built in the 1990s and will also have a third class, to be known as GT3, for cars from one-make series such as the Porsche Supercup and Ferrari Challenge."
Apparently Ratel said he had the idea in the back of his mind when he was approached by Paul Knapfield, sometime FIA GT racer, who wanted to race the ex-EMKA McLaren F1 GTR he had recently bought. Ratel is reported to be in contact with owners of Porsche GT1s, another McLaren owner and people with Ferrari F40 LMs and GT-Es.
The first race is planned for Silverstone on May 5/6, which is FIA GT weekend.
Wouldn't it be good to see the Elise GT1 back out and maybe a Mercedes CLK-GTR, if they can keep it on the ground!
