Homologation
(race)
Homologation
is a technical term, derived from the Greek homologos for "agree,"
it is generally used in English to signify the granting of approval
by an official authority. In the automotive field it refers to the
manufacture of road legal vehicles specifically built to allow a
race spec version of the same vehicle to compete in official race
events. Usually vehicles made for homologation purposes are built
in limited numbers, often just enough to comply with regulations.
The 'GTO' abreviation given to some vehicles names stands for 'Gran
Turismo Omologato', Italian for 'Grand Touring, Homologated'.
