Super GT doesn't have massive swings, you need like 4-5 races worth of good finishes before you see cars really completely out of it. His issue is specifically increasing the handicaps by a third. That increase didn't put any of the privateers in contention at Fuji while making the gap between the two Toyotas insurmountable for the Silverstone winner so it was a complete parade, and meant that instead of perhaps a close battle between Rebellion and Toyota at Shanghai it was pretty much a slam dunk because it was 1.85s difference in handicap instead of 1.39s. (.56s x 125 laps would put them within 4s of each other instead of 67s apart as a dirty guesstimate)
