Our penultimate year-by-year gallery covering all of the GTE cars that ever raced reaches 2012 and two significant moments for the class.
Firstly the advent of the FIA World Endurance Championship, which would become a happy hunting ground in GTE for over a decade.
Secondly a very tough year indeed for the European Le Mans Series which staggered into and through the year as a victim of some poor planning and poor management – It would be subsumed into the packages managed by LMEM for the following year, and has been very healthy indeed ever since.
DSC has also added as many International GT Open Super GT class cars to this selection as possible, as high quality imagery from the 2011 and 2012 International GT Open seasons is tough to find. However we’re sure you’ll agree that Super GT, a class which was reserved for GTE, GT3, GT1 and various specials, all balanced together, featured some intriguing entries for its final year in the championship.
