Default There isn't an ALMS GT3 class. If Audi wanted to put some weight behind it they could probably get

it allowed into Rolex GT, but I can't imagine them having the slightest interest as long as there is a venue for their prototypes here in the States.

Default sure there is....right now it's basically a Porsche Cup series though...

Their races are usually support with ALMS weekends.

Default no, there isnt...

ALMS as LMP1, LMP2, GT1, and GT2...there is no GT3 class in ALMS

the imsa porsche cup series is a spec series specifically for porsche gt3 cup cars, it's not an ALMS class and it's not the same as the LMS GT3 class...
