If you don't want the "Class One" approach just because everything is spec including the engine (except for other extras like DRS and hybrid options), that's okay. But we can just ask DTM and Super GT to open up engine regulations. I'm one of those people who hated the current engine regulations despite being faster than its predecessors. And you're right, variety is needed.
How in the world would an IMSA GT with a better TV contract, bigger names, bigger races fail in the face of PWC? If an IMSA GT went GTE and straight up GT3, PWC would be the one to fold.

And the engine regulations will be what they are. They've finally agreed to it after a lot of politicking and IMSA wouldn't fight it as it would give Ford and GM an ability to show off their turbo four capability.
