"The FGT won the European FIA Championship series in 2008." by Real 1

I did go to the site you (R1) provided a link to. The FGT won the 2008 "Team" (4 cars in the team) Championship of the GT3 class. From what I gather, the GT3 class is for developing amateur drivers for the GT1 and 2 classes (source is Wikipedia). All of the cars in the GT3 class are to be prepared so that they have similar power and handling (apparently to make it more of a competition between drivers). Although the FGT did very well in GT3 competition and the answer to my question is yes, they are raced. I don't think that in the future, one can look back and say that this established a strong heritage of racing. Whatever...the FGT is still a fine car and I won't argue that.
