As far as I know there is no race bracket in SCCA for a GT 40 replica to run in. Best guess is that it might match up with a Panoz Esperante GTS in the GT-1 class. The Esperante runs a ford 5.8-liter, 385-bhp engine and the curb weight is 2,685lbs. The performance of the Esperante in the GT-1 class suffered against ex-TransAm cars which they had to compete with. Now it is my understanding that the Esperante has been moved to compete in the SCCA GT-2 Class. GT-2 would be a good group for GT 40 Replicas to run in.
