Lol, that's a funny way of saying "build a car to the rules"...

The test gives you a target: therefore you get the best performance possible (i.e., at untested conditions) while hitting the target. Seems like Engineering 101, nothing more than that!

I would more than welcome proper touring car rules where you start with the actual car, weld-in a roll cage and upgrade the suspension arms, engine, gearbox, differential while starting with the engine block and suspension points and type of the road car. Where you are given dimensional boxes for your front splitter and rear wing, rather than an aero target. Glass windows, and production panels all round! That would sure be a lot better IMO!
