GT3 Car Homologation
GT3 Cars are modified versions of street cars. They are modified versions of street cars with less weight, more safety features, and agressive aerodynamics. They must be homologated, or approved for racing by the FIA. Homologation involves building a certain number of road cars that the race car is based upon. Homologation expires after 7 years, and manufacturers can choose to renew the homologation. Source: Wikipedia
Technical Requirements
GT3 Cars can have a weight between 1200kg and 1300kg. Their engines can have 4, 8, 10, or 12 cylinders, and can be almost any size. According to FIA regulations, the engine must produce between 500 to 600 horsepower. Vehicles also need safety equipment such as traction control, anti-lock brakes, a roll cage, and fire supression systems. To ensure quick pit stops, GT3 cars are fitted with air jacks This prevents a single manufacturer's car from being dominant in the class, and encourages strategy and clever engineering to come out on top in races.
