 FIA GT Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, with the release of the 2007 FIA GT Championship season schedule and rules, the FIA GT series becomes more of a sprint race event, with all races being a maximum of 2 hours with the exception of the Spa 24 Hours, and no Mil Milhas on the schedule.
In 1997, due to interest from manufacturers Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Panoz, the FIA took over as governing body, standardizing the race-length at 500 km, liberalizing the technical regulations and leaving commercial exploitation in the hands of Stéphane Ratel, who managed to get TV support from the pan-European TV station Eurosport.
While this was made to accommodate the Saleen S7, the biggest beneficiary was the purpose-built Maserati MC12, which lead the FIA to impose aerodynamic limitations on the Italian car.

GT cars were nothing new, however, to Le Mans, or sportscar racing.
With no road going versions of the mid-engined CLK, it's hard to see why the FIA agreed to let Mercedes race and, although technically, having a road legal ride height, the aerodynamics of the car ensure it rides as low as 10mm from the ground at speed, producing almost Group C like downforce.

 Review - GTR - FIA GT Racing Game // PC /// Eurogamer
Being a racing game fan and a racing fan are quite clearly two very different things, so I apologise in advance to the racing aficionados for my utter ignorance of what the FIA GT championship is all about.
As things stand, even with a beefy Geforce 6800 GT under the bonnet, the game doesn't quite leave us quite as breathless as we were expecting.
The cars are truly exceptional, but what lets it down ultimately is the generally flat and lifeless trackside detail, a few inexplicable frame rate hitches (where the game noticeably stutters every so often regardless of resolution) and less than stellar weather effects.

GTR may very well be the first step on Simbin’s road to fame and fortune, but the company actually started out as an ambitious modding team with its mind set on creating a groundbreaking modification of EA’s F1 2001.
As you may know, an FIA GT-race is decided over time and not by laps, meaning that whoever has driven the longest distance when the time is up is the winner, given that the race must not exceed 500 km.
This makes me understand how a real FIA GT-driver must work and this is what simulation is all about.

 G.T.R: FIA GT Racing   (Site not responding. Last check: )
G.T.R. is based on the European FIA GT Championship racing series, and instead of racing around in stock cars, these guys race cars like Vipers and Ferraris.
While we have all played racing games that feature sports cars in the past, there has never been a game that even comes close to having the realism and features that G.T.R. has.
I strongly suggest playing this game in surround sound with the volume turned up loud enough to rattle the pictures off the walls, just to add to the realism if nothing else.
