out of interest, does the koenigsegg CCGT keep it's vertical doors?

What's the motive for all these companies to race GT3? It seems like they'd get more publicity if they stepped up to GT2 or 1 b/c then they'd go to Le Mans and Sebring.

Potential failure. In GT2 there are factory teams spending money to win and competition is close and hard fought. The chances of winning are slim and if you enter a works car and don't win it could be seen as negative publicity.
In GT3 though, there are no works teams, at least from the big factories, and cars are campaigned by privateers. It doesn't matter if the car doesn't win because the factory wasn't directly involved. And on the other hand it's a perfect way to give your car racing pedigree on the cheap.
I knew it wasn't related to the doors, just gave it as extra info. What are the homologation requirements for GT1 cars by the way?

Visca Catalunya!
Just think it will undoubtly be the most fantastic car in GT3 tracks!!! it looks awesome!!! Great work Mercedes...just willing to see him roar in the track.
Mercedes almost kept that one a big secret!!! :P
I was just reading this last night - let me see again.
From the LMS website:
So pretty lax to be honest - 100 seems to me a small amount.The "Grand Touring" category features cars derived from models homologated for road use and which can be purchased. A minimum of 100 street legal samples must be built by the major car manufacturers and a minimum of 25 for the smaller makes. Easy identifiable by the public, the GTs deliver a top drawer level of popularity.
for koenigsegg 100 seems like a lot though.

They are a small manufacturer, so they should only produce 25 cars.

oh right, but even so - would be a bit of a mission for koenigsegg to sell even that many, especially cars so focused.
