What is GT?
The FIA defined the GT car as "an open or closed automobile which has no more than one door on each side and a minimum of two seats situated one on each side of the longitudinal centre line of the car; these two seats must be crossed by the same transversal plane. This car must be able to be used perfectly legally on the open road, and adapted for racing on circuits or closed courses." GT cars are divided, from most powerful to least powerful, into GT1 (formerly GTS and GT) and GT2 (formerly GT and N-GT) in most championships, also GT3 and GT4.
The abbreviation GT, traces its root to the Italian tradition of referring to their luxury performance cars as gran turismo. The GT path had been initiated and led by Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Lancia starting from 1920s.
