GT3

Group GT3, known technically as Cup Grand Touring Cars and commonly referred to as simply GT3, is a racing category in which a road car is modified to comply with track regulations, these modifications include aerodynamic parts, like wings and winglets, or things like a rollcage in the interior and a fire extinguisher in the cockpit.

The cars
The currently used GT3 cars vary from the agile coupe that is the Dragonite Maya GT3, to sleek and powerful supercars like the exotic Midnight Sport Martini GT3. All the cars have diffirent stats that affect how they perform on track. Some cars have more power, but are heavier in result, and others are light and agile but have less power. As a result, manufacturers have struggled to find the best possible compromize between power and weight. From S3 onwards, there will be damage added, so teams will have to be strategic of their drivers racing, and the drivers will need to be cautious.

The Equipment
All race series in ION Racing use the standard SHOEI Race Helmets Model SPH20, being specially developed for use both in single-seaters and Grand Touring cars.

Modern kevlar reinforced nomex suits are also mandated to use by the drivers and team staff, being supplied by companies such as Puma, Alpinestars and Adidas.

The Tracks
All tracks need a minimum of a ION grade 3 to be allowed to hold any form of race or track event with GT3 cars. That includes at least 3 KM (1.86 Miles) of total track length, and at least 13 meters of runoff area on each corner.
