The drivers hated the Group C, fuel conservation racing, and modern fans will NOT like the show that it produces, so that's just a no-go way of doing things.

Just to humor you, that would be a maximum of 230 litres (~60 gallons) of fuel for 1000km, if you went right at 50% of the final Group C allotment. Privateers can't afford to do the R&D to drop consumption b6 60%, and the top privateers will NOT settle for racing in the second class. For them, it's race for the overall, or they'll go somewhere else, period.

Also, with how much you'd have to back off in that P2 scenario, with the same engine but 80% of the fuel, you introduce an untenable situation, because then you're having to police how slow is too slow for safety reasons on a bloody constant basis, and that's NOT even remotely practical.

They should just leave the damn engine rules like they are right now for p1 and p2. Introduce new technology allowances within that framework. If you think the cars are too fast, do wholesdale aero/drag reductions, but leave power levels alone.
