<p>Lotus joined the growing ranks of manufacturers commited to the new FIA GT3 series for 2006, with the first official<br />
FIA test of the new Lotus Sport Exige GT3 this month at the Paul Ricard circuit in France. (The Exige is on the right,<br />
above.)</p>
<p> The FIA plans a five-race European GT3 championship for 2006, and the new class is expected to be adopted by several<br />
national championships as well. The series is aimed at lightly modified production GT cars, featuring six cars from<br />
each marque piloted by non-professional drivers in one-hour races. Cars are intended to have roughly equal<br />
power-to-weight ratios, for balanced competition between makes.</p>
