Yeah, you could just run two classes, but I think it would ultimately just turn into all factory teams. The minnows should have a lower class to consider.

Updating GT4 into a "Super GT4" certainly seems like a good idea to me, but maybe there should be something unique for that class. Jonerz proposed the idea of using the TA2 specifications, which would certainly help it stand out uniquely, and would be nicely low-cost.

So.. If any variation of GT4 was not an option, what would YOU replace GTD with should GT3/GTE convergence actually happen?
To me super GT4 sounds like GT4s with bigger rear wings which would takes us back to Grand Am GT essentially which had good numbers. I am ok with that as long as a pro/factory based GT category remains viable. But this is an idea for 2020 at earliest. Maybe 2021.
