W2Motorsport should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy because then other people see how low the standards can be and how high the repair bills can be and stay out of the series -- reinforcing the grid size problems.

If they had enough GT3 cars the issue would solve itself. It's not even to say that the GT4 cars are all weapons its just that the speed difference on a fairly small track with long straights followed by flowing corners where a GT3 can't easily pass a GT4 causes lots of dives. I know it didn't look like driving a GT4 in that race would of been fun. I lost count of how many times I saw a GT4 get run into the grass from a GT3 dive in the last part of the track where I was. I'd love to see it become GT3 only in the future if they could bring in 30-35 cars. They weren't extremely far off from that this season. That would solve a lot of (not all of) the problems.
