Entries

2011 sees a new manufacturer in the series with Mercedes-Benz joining the GT3 grid with their SLS-AMG sports cars. Ferrari have replaced the F430 with the brand new 458 Italia. The F430 is still eligible to race in this year's season, as is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06.R and BMW Alpina B6 GT3 that competed last year. The only car switch from a team has come from Graff Racing who have switched from racing a Corvette last year to the new Mercedes-Benz SLS. There are also a few new teams on the entry list from round one mostly from the new cars that Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz have produced.
