SLS GT3 - any word on when it debuts?

Any word on when we'll see the SLS GT3 in competition? I have not investigated any of the European racing series and I have not heard whether MB or an independent team will try one in ALMS or GrandAm in the US.

Check "Auto Motor und Sport" - english version - I believe the SLS has competed in two different races - spun out in both - In the first race, the qualifying times were 10 seconds slower than the top qualifier. Much improvement needed...

as others have posted, it has already been released and AMG are taking orders. So far 14 teams have ordered the car for 2011 GT series in 2011. Please see thread here for some pics https://mbworld.org/forums/sls-amg-g...-personal.html
