You're not going to keep everyone happy but I think the bigger players will be happier if they don't have pro-am teams running faster because one of their drivers 'suck' and gives the indication the team needs help so they slow dpi down too much. I think that's one of the things going on currently.
The manufacturers that entered dpi knew they would be bop'd against the p2s when they decided to join, no? They aren't getting their ROI when they have won 14 of 16 races? Splitting the classes and allowing manufacturers to develop the cars further opens a huge can of worms and could potentially just become a budget war of some sort. It ain't perfect, as the bop creates in equity both ways based on tracks, but it certainly ain't broke, and the potential consequences of split classes certas only don't warrant a change..
