A few years ago there was an article on sportscarpros (can't find it right now, perhaps soemone else can?) that suggested that manufacturer interest in prototypes was dead and that GTS was the real deal and that maybe it should indeed become the ALMS's new headline class... a few months later Porsche announced that they'd built the RS Spyder and suddenly everyone reversed their opinion and sure enough what followed were two of ALMS's best seasons.
That said, Mr. Farell's ideas have quite some appeal and 40+ GT-cars going into the first turn at any track would surely a sight to behold.
But then, I am not so sure about the long term health of GT(2)... and if GT2 imploded a GT-only series would suddenly look like a REALLY bad idea.
Another issue is that a GT-only series under current regs would shut out those manufacturers that don't have suitable roadcars... John Bishop tried to get around that problem by creating the AAGT and GTX-rules, but I don't think something like that would be popular with the crowd on here...
