There is no modern equivalent of GT1. That's why it's so hard to see where it fits. GTE is an evolution of GT2, which, in 1998, was contested by the Viper and 911 GT2. If you were to draw a line representing modern racing series, LMP1 has a really straight line, touring cars started as one thing with Group A but then went in a million different directions, GT2 is a reletively straight line that just changes names halfway through. GT1, however, starts off, goes for a few years, then stops. It then starts a bit later, goes on for a few years, then stops again. There is no modern equivalent.
