LMP675 Rule Changes
Part of the reason behind MG's decision to bin the prototype race program is the ACO's decision to consider changing the class rules so that basically a 675 car will not be capable of challenging for the outright win. Is this really a good move though? I mean if they only want 900' cars winning, why let all the other classes compete? If I remember correctly a GTS spec Viper won the Daytona 24 hours outright a year or two back (ok, all the prototypes broke down), and at the time everyone said what a good thing it was that the GT class cars were still competitive! What's the point of having a race if you then try and stop people being competitive?

I did read somewhere that, the ACO are going to do away with 675 in 2004 and replace it with a new class with a minimum wight of 700 kilos, just to stop people like MG coming along a spoiling the part for the 900's.
