modern GT - Aston DBR9, Porsche GT3,Maserati, Lambo`s etc , think GTS, GT3 & GT2 type cars.

Hot Hatches - at a guess, Meganes, Alfa147, clios, citreon C4, VW polos, Fiat punto, talbot sunbeam,suzuki SX4, also don`t know if 4wd is eligible - don`t know whether group B rally cars would fit as most looked like a hatch but had a motor placed there, and more than likely didn`t have a functioning hatch back.
Just guessing.-

I got a few hot hatches - like NC1 meganes, Clios, Fiat Punto, Mini Cooper, Fiat 1000, FLY Alfa 147s, SCX Tuner cars ( ones with leds underneath ) DOOF DOOF DOOF!!! & looks like Vin Diesel is driving them.
Wonder if a 350Z, Supra & Lexus 430 qualify as a hot hatch?? Technically they are a hatch back, but not in the spirit of the class i would say. Should state that the rear should be closer to vertical than not.

I was just wondering if i can run a Audi R8 in the Modern GT Class at Al`s place. I do have some other Modern Gt cars to run if not able too.
Lets go Racing
