Yeah but you could build a new car for in theory similar cost that would be eligible for both classes.
So Ferrari could roll out one replacement instead of two. That's the entire point.
Imagine a manufacturer on the outside looking in when this actually gets put into place. If done right you'd have a car you could sell to gentleman drivers and be able to go and compete at Le Mans as a manufacturer.
Will be interesting to see what Ratel thinks about this. Will he embrace it and keep the 'World' tag or again create a haven for older machinery.
It is interesting to see how this fits in with prospective manufacturers. Bentley certainly are one of the ones affected in terms of what they could sell in their first full season.
But you can't park a new concept that could be of huge benefit long-term just because it puts out one manufacturer.
