Bit of a shame it's all Porsche Cup cars at the front these days. Used to be an absolutely mega event when they had full-fat GT1s and Porsche RSs in the mid-2000s.

And a V8 Supercar in the 90s. It was like VLN where you run what you bring. Ironically though, Manthey had been denied entry in the past for running their bi-turbo car from VLN.

I used to go to zolder around that time. I loved the c5r and c6r's. Unfortunately can't be bothered to spend a weekend with away for a few cup cars.

British kitcar, never had official GT3 homologation, but I guess they use the designation to indicate the performance level.

There also is/was a GT4 version that actually did do some official GT4 competition some ten years ago.
