Arguing that the rules are bent towards diesel engines makes some kind of sense, since there is an equivalence rule there to possibly get wrong. But how can you argue that rules are bent towards manufacturers? The manufacturers and privateers are both racing under the same rules. Inany non-spec series (and also in most spec series), the teams spending the most money are at a distinct advantage, and thats how it is here. If the competition is too hot in P1 for the privateer entrants, then thats what P2 is for...

Edit: Reading the report above, a few interesting points - the air conditioner restrictor break is gone, and something about GT1 engines:

The corvette engines are already 7 liters, no? So does this mean the 7L engines will be allowed in P1 ala Charouz Aston?
