Interesting thoughts Mike. So the mandated stint lengths give Toyota 1 lap advantage per stint. The fuel tank size difference gives the privateers a 6 lap advantage (or Toyota a 6 lap disadvantage).
You could do a similar thought process for the minimum weight rule give. It would be slightly different, but you could apply the same principle.
FWIW I am technically against both, but I get why for both.
And another point. 9mpg. Wow. I get 7-8 mpg for my race car, for an average lap speed of 75-80mph depending on circuit. Albeit with pushrods!
