IMSA could split GT Daytona into a Pro class (no bronze drivers allowed) and a Pro-Am class (one bronze driver required).
IMSA could copy DTM's GT Plus regulations.
IMSA needs to do something. But will it?

I think the easiest and best solution is GTD Pro, and GTD Pro/AM. Keep the regulations the same (just GT3 cars). If an AM can punch above his class then it is what it is IMO. GTWC runs races like Spa, and Endurance rounds with cars all running in the same spec but with different classes and it works fine. No reason to think it wouldn't work in IMSA as well.
I do think GTD Pro would be an upgrade over GTLM because there are so many manufacturers that support GT3 racing. Would be great to see factory squads from Mercedes, Audi, Lambo, Ferrari, Mclaren, Aston, etc. in addition to BMW, Porsche, and Chevrolet.
