The unseeded driver rule is IMO really stupid. There are high profile teams coming over from Europe who would like to use their best drivers but they can't because of a rule that isn't used in any other endurance race that I know of (apart from GTE-AM in ILMC/ALMS/LMS).
On the flip side, it could give some up and coming young drivers or a young factory driver who is regarded in the rules as a ametuer like Marco Holzer was last year, a break with a quality team which would normally be full of Pros.
