It's likely that they will shed the all-wheel-drive system as fellow Volkswagen Group racers Bentley and Audi have done to meet weight restrictions.

I can't wait to see the 5.2-liter Huracán V10 in a racecar as well. We need more racing V10s, especially with Dodge team from United SportsCar. V10s are love and happiness in an engine note. There can never be enough.

This entry from Lamborghini places it head-to-head (or rather, wheel-to-wheel) with the new . I can't wait to see this much awesomeness on one track at once. While we're at it, does anyone else want to announce a new GT3 car today? The more, the merrier.

BMW has been racing the Z4 in GT3 competition since 2010. While it is still cool, it is getting…
