It's not a road car...!!!
People are only generally bothered about the cars they can actually purchase.
Unless anyone else knows where I can buy an S62 Mk3 Aero off the shelf. Does it really matter? If Morgan wins, it wins, simple as that  Its the titles and accolades that would influence potential buyers...

True.... however as the International FIA GT racing is not very well publicised and the populous at large do't even know that it's going on let alone actively follow it. The only thing they notice is that every now and again manufacturers release market crushing cars called GT2/3 etc... that are the Halo products for the rest of the range.. How many Porsche owners know that the GT3 Cup Porches win X at National and Internation GT events.. No. They only know that they can get a road going car pretty much identical that beats the competition. Unless Morgan up the publicity of the FIA GT, which lets face it cannot be done without major funding.. it's the road car program which is going to make the differnce. E.g when is Top Gear (I know, I know) going to test the Aero GT3 against the Porsche GT3 and the Ferrari 430 S

Will have lots to say, with pics, when we get back about GT3 series. Interesting and good mostly.
As for Cereals GT3 road car, I can only guess cost is prohibitive but the GTN road cars DID make a great impression on Top Gear.
All I will (read can) say also is that the future is verb bright with regards to performance and the Aero in particular.

You don't need the Stig  Roderich

BtG So the future is "verb bright"... we'll assume the 'verb' means very: which can only mean ORANGE Aero 8s! You also mention how the GTN made an impression - so my guess is Orange GT3 Aero clones! Where do I collect my prize?

Rod, Can I just have the 2nd prize? VBH is far too annoying... that laugh, that voice  ...I'd have nightmares for months after!  I figure a good meal, chat and a few bottles of wine with JC would be a laugh, so I'll give the VBH date to Kin! He's much better with the ladies!

I just wanted to offer TPT as an alternative...
