RC F GT3 still has one more year in real life WEC, it seems. (Lexus could debut it mid-season in IMSA and Super GT GT300 if they want.)

New Toyota GT3 Unlikely to Race in WEC in 2026 – Sportscar365

Japanese auto giant's new GT3 challenger unlikely to race in WEC next season...
sportscar365.com sportscar365.com

Article also indicates that the car could be badged as Lexus for North Americas and Toyota for elsewhere, so twin car situation? (RIP chances of GR Supra GT300 in Gr.3 then)

It depends if PD wants to add the latest Supra or not , but something tells me that new Gr.3 would be in Lexus

then can do either GR Supra GT300 , Supra V8 or even GR86 GT300

I definelitely dont like when PD merge two very different classes when putting a (for example) old GT500 into Gr.3 which are GTE and GT3. They should do sub-classes or something like that.

At this point i dont even care about the updated McLaren racecar, with and roadgoing 720s is aldready enough for me considering how much McLaren cars have been ignored, though theres a chance that its not PD fault, and more licensing.

For single player, I agree, but for Sport, their hands are kinda tied.

Though I will say, no one uses the GT500s or F1 GTR for Gr. 3 races so they could (in theory anyways) re-tool Gr. 3 and shove the older cars somewhere else. They kinda did that with the JGTC races (that for some reason aren't permanent :grumpy:).
 
I wonder if Kaz timed the Ferrari 296 GT3 because of Emil Frey x Verstappen NLS debut

My guess would be that it has something to do with the 296 winning the nls 24hours the first time it raced there.
But it will be almost immediately the "old version" because the evo version will debut in the Daytonna 24h race in january 2026 ._.

Evo versions in GT game doesnt mean much unless they change too much visually and what i have seen 296 Evo has more vents that just it :P

yep they added latest model which is the 2018 and that was also the movie car

Nissan's newest Gr.3 would be the Z GT300 car

Nissan doesn't really have much to do with that car other than allowing it to be called a Z and look like one, it's a custom chassis and uses the GT-R's engine rather than the Z's.

I agree with the above, as I mentioned the thought in the March Prediction thread as well.
I'm still thinking about Emil Frey Racing and their switch to the Ferrari 296 GT3. Other than the Jaguar GT3 the team initially ran(which it's ironic to have a Gr.3 Jaguar in shiny purple - Emil Frey ran theirs in a vibrant blue) when GT Sport debuted(still interesting when the Jaguar GT3 was revealed in 2016, just as many of the GT3/GR.3 cars are 2016 models).

We have both Emil Frey RC F GT3 and the Huracan. Now with their recent announcement:

2025 ENTRY: Emil Frey Racing confirms two-car Ferrari programme, extends Verstappen.com Racing collaboration​

Emil Frey Racing will continue its GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Sprint Cup programme this year, and has extended its collaboration with Verstappen.com Racing for another season.

Verstappen.com also running the latest Vantage GT3:

I'm thinking were closer to the possibility of these new GT3/GR.3 cars. Once again, I'll lock it in after a bit of refinement. ;)

Technically true but still

NMC will also provide technical support to customer teams participating in races with Nissan vehicles.
Super GT GT300 class (GTA GT300 regulation)
The GTA GT300 regulation Fairlady Z (RZ34), which is being uniquely developed by Gainer Inc., will participate in the Super GT GT300 class.

I had a thought we didn’t get current Super GT cars due to waiting for the 2025 season to be over. This way, PD know the final liveries and which car would wear the #1.
Shoot, this would be better to have the Prelude ready to go like they did with the 2016 NSX Concept.
