This was coming for some time now so it shouldn't be as a surprise, even if it is disappointing.

If they wanted low budget they should have brought back rules similar to the old LMP900/GTP rules. When we had that rule set we had a decent mix of cars both private and factory. We are at a point to where it needs to be kept simple: no hybrids, gas engines only and sonic restrictors.
