This shift has not only brought technological advancements to the racing series but also increased its visibility and appeal, drawing more fans to the events. The article highlights how the GTP class's alignment with global racing standards, particularly with the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) and LMDh regulations, has facilitated this growth by allowing manufacturers to compete in multiple prestigious races worldwide with similar car specifications.
