A second point concerns the comment above about CR6ZZ. Does the FIA putting a stop to them prevent their use at Spa for the 6hr?

In relation to the first point, the regulations for new market entrant is that they have to commit to all the smaller and less profitable sizes in order to be allowed to make the better best sellers.
On the CR6ZZ there is nothing the FIA can do, the CR6ZZ is listed in Appendix K already and this comes down to supplementary regulations as the final word.
