THE FIA-GT 1 racing championship

Most of us have come across games such as Real Racing 3 or Shift 2 unleashed and they have written in their description that these games involve the thrilling experience of FIA GT 1 racing. Ever wondered what this racing was? All of us have heard of major league racing such as Formula 1(F-1), Dirt racing or even of the now non-existing Formula 2 racing. However, FIA GT 1 racing is not given so much newspaper or media coverage thus not many people are even aware of such a racing.

So first of all this was a world championship sports car racing which was started by FIA in 2010. It lasted till 2012, a rather short lived time period, but attracted much thrill. The best part about this was that the sports car we see were able to actually "race" to their full potential.
Originally, Aston Martin, Chevrolet, And Maserati brought cars into this. Later; however, companies like Ford, Nissan, Lamborghini, McLaren, Audi, etc. ventured in.
The races were originally held in three continents i.e. North America, Europe, Asia. The 'Yas Marina' circuit was the only circuit representing Middle east. The South American circuits included 'Portero de los Funes' in Argentina and 'Interlagos' in Brazil. The European circuit included the famous and sometimes notorious Nurburgring circuit of Germany. China also had many tracks in the GT1.
The cars which recieved the most attention in the final season of the GT1 were the Nissan GT-R Nismo, The R8 LMS, McLaren MP4-12C, The Lamborghini Galardo and Murcialago, The Aston Martin DB series, the chevy corvette, Ford GT, BMW Z-4.
Now the GT1 series have been dissolved into the Gt series which continue to thrill audiences.
