While GT1 cars have faded away from the American Le Mans Series, they’re still running strong in other parts of the world. The 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship kicks off a 10-race series this weekend in Abu Dhabi with two dozen cars signed up, including a quartet of Maserati MC12s. The Maseratis are the defending GT1 champions and this year’s new series will see them challenged by Ford GTs, Nissan GT-Rs, Lamborghini Murcielagos, Aston Martin DB9s and ex-works Chevy Corvettes.
The format for this year’s events has been changed from a single two-hour race to a pair of one-hour sprints. Four events will be held outside Europe, including this weekend’s races and December’s season finale in Argentina.
