– Until those Wikipedia articles, I have never heard of these being called "Group [class]" before, I have only heard of these being called minus "Group" itself, Googling it also proves this to be the case. So the question is, should we title articles of existing categories whose names only exist on Wikipedia. Donnie Park (talk) 13:57, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's the very first reference in the article. Why move the article at all from the correct title to one that requires a disambiguation? Every other FIA category is called Group (Group C, Group 7, Group 4, etc.), why change these three? A person typing GT3 into Wikipedia is still going to end up at the exact same disambiguation page, and still going to be one click from this article, no matter the title.

Oppose. GT3 is an existing dab page and RGT is now a dab page since with Group RGT probably not the primary topic. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:11, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for all the reasons mentioned above. Wild8oar (talk) 07:10, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose first, second, fourth - as stated. Malformed RM. Neutral on move 3, Group 4 (racing) suggests Group is understood, but haven't actually checked "Group CN" in Google Books to see what else there might be. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:35, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Vegaswikian. There being an IMSA GT3, FIA's GT3 designation is different, so "GT3" is region specific. "Group CN" is highly ambiguous, there being CN Group and CN-group... -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:41, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish GT

I have a doubt whether this series allows a GT3 car to race or not.If you can find any information,please tell me.ThanksAbc12345 06:43, 20 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AVP1234 (talk • contribs)

"Corvette" is not a manufacturer. This should be "Chevrolet."

See subject.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet

Corvette was considered its own brand in Europe. It was not considered to be a Chevrolet. The FIA homologation for the GT3 cars, as well the older GT1 Corvettes, listed them as being built by Corvette. The³5₉ (Talk) 16:47, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria for inclusion

As this article discusses the FIA regulations and homologations for Group GT3 cars, the FIA's approval of the homologation paperwork is required to be added to the lost of cars. Guessing and assumptions cannot be allowed, there is already a history of failed homologations in this category. The FIA keeps up with their homologation documents in a timely manner.

Unhomologated cars currently racing does not mean the cars are homologated by the FIA, individual series can use their own provisional approvals.

There is no need to be the first to add to the list of homologations, correct is more important than prompt. The³5₉ (Talk) 21:55, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More detail on how GT3 is used in series

I'd like to propose the list of series is moved into either subheadings or perhaps a table with more info.

I started a "bold" edit to arrange them just by ultimate sanctioning body thinking that would be 90% FIA or SRO but quickly learned it was more complex than that.

However I think it's important to bring out the point that whilst FIA GT3 is widely used, the different tech regs and BoP in some series means not all GT3 are the same and would not necessarily be able to compete on track effectively.

By the time I had abandoned the attempt at my list I already had:

SP9 (Creventic and ADAC)

GT3 ACO BoP and regs

GT3 SRO BoP and regs

GT3 IMSA BoP and regs

DMSB (because DTM)

And at least 3 ASNs which may have (or had) their own BoP:

CAMS

RACB (might be the same as ADAC so we don't need this one?)

CAMF (and is China GT coming back?)

Would it be worthwhile a few of us collaborating on the list so we can organise it by BoP owner at least, as that's the item important to competition? Zaack23 (talk) 15:42, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
