do you have any good facts about gt3 cars or gt3 racing? currently foaming at the mouth for some of the cars in that class

I have a good fact about this ask! I viewed it and the notification went away and I completely forgot about it until I was brushing my teeth so here we are now!

One cool fact is the team that runs itasha liveries, Goodsmile Racing, which I mentioned in my post about itasha, which if you don't know is... well... this.

As far as the rest goes, my knowledge of GT3 cars is shallow enough that anyone invested enough in them to ask will know all I do. But, on the off chance that you don't and to entertain the public:

This is a Ford GT.

And while it's bigger than the 1960s racecar it's inspired by and by its mid-00s revival, it's really not that big! It's under 4.8 m (188 in) long and 1.1m (44 in) tall. That's about the length of a Camry and three quarters the height. Squish a Camry real hard, basically.

This is a BMW M8. It's not that small. It's a whole 23cm (9in) taller than the GT. It's a touch narrower, but its race version is instead 18cm (7in) wider than the GT's.

This creates a rather striking difference in size when they are side by side, which, given they compete in the same class, often happens.

Now, some Japanese exaggerated that size difference with image editing because he thought he was funny.

He was.

This sparked a series of "Big M8" memes that got progressively more overboard.

"But aren't these GTE cars?", you may object.

And yes. They are. I just didn't know the difference when I started writing this post. So that's how much I know about GT3 cars.

I guess I could tell you some fun facts about the road cars they are based on - like that the first Audi R8...

...was based on parts from both these cars!

While chassis and powertrain were heavily shared with the Gallardo due to Audi's Lamborghini ownership, the R8 also had a "base" V8 trim that used the engine from the RS4 (aka the Real Sporty version of the Audi A4 - of which by the way Father had and thoroughly loved the convertible, exquisitely competent car! Turbo issues aside I thoroughly recommend).

Links in blue are posts of mine explaining the words in question - if you liked this post, you might like those!
