So essentially sprint X will become the format of choice I reckon

They will likely also put a lot in to rebuilding the GT3 numbers, as well as bringing the GT4 races in line with Euro GT4 rulesets

Honestly I see this as a well timed move for the series, they have struggled this season for numbers in GT3 and with IMSA looking so strong at the moment they need strength to offer a real alternative
A few other things.
- Start with regional championships - This is because they know that the US is huge and they can copy with what they do in Europe. Expect to see a NE, SE, Central and West Coast Series'.

- Then the prize money will go up as compared to the peanuts you get in the US.

- Elimination of TCR/TC and TCA - Comes at no loss because the hard core fans in PWC don't follow those classes anyway (case in point, no info about them at Lime Rock).

- 30 to 40 car fields for GT3 and GT4 - SRO has a track record of this and it will happen in the US too.
