FIA-GT: Pre-season notes

There seems, still, to be a few IFs here, pre-Feb.26 series start but:
Stefane Ratel, the "R" in BPR Organization, wants to make sure that
non-Porsche teams look seriously at the alternatives, ie. his two-car
F40 team, sponsored by Aldix Computers.
BPR insists that all cars be homologated for road use, ie. McLaren F1
GTR will be homologated Feb.1 -- but the new SARD Toyota MC8 will have
to wait for production prior to acceptance in the series.
According to BPR, the competition should include:
- 17 Porsches
- 6 McLaren F1 GTRs
- 6 Jaguar XJ220s
- 6 Ferraris (F40s & 355s)
- 2 Bugattis
- 2 Toyota MC8
- ? Venturis
- 1? Lamboghini Diablo
- 1 Morgan Plus 8
