From a spectators point of view, it's like the first 4 or 5 have much bigger engines as by the first lap, they are so far ahead it's like they are in a different race!

There is no perfect filter but it is generally accepted that running to FIA spec is deemed the most all embracing.

Dont get me wrong - I love XK120's and own one myself but as soon as you get them running torwards the front it is not going to encourage C Types and FIA 120's to come out. Likewise Mk1's should be slower than Mk2's otherwise everyone back in the day would have kept racing Mk1's!

To ensure the series works going forward you need a sustainable grid and my view is that making it FIA will ensure that...

Tend to agree with the sentiment, from observation, the word 'Heritage' is fast in danger of becoming a misnomer.
But having said that the minds eye still hankers for 65 North Street SW4 Dear Albert, and his Mk1?, but then of course Mk. 1's never existed anyway.
