Dunno, not seen a good argument for splitting the classes other than wanting more speed. Racing has been great, which is the whole point.
You can't sign up for a BoP series and then complain the BoP doesn't let you win every race in the season. Caddy is the best car. But you wanted a BoP series and got a BoP series, so your car gets slowed down.

A bop series that's supposed to have parity between each of the cars but they don't. The Caddy doesn't have to be far from a win for it to be wrong on bop. It's top speed was way down and it's lap time was nowhere. This is why it's best to leave DPi as a separate class and have p2's run their own class as-is. You won't make them equal without overly screwing one or multiple DPi's. They're naturally faster so let them be. It's almost as bad as DP vs lmp2 a few years back. In order to make the DP's as quick as lmp2 they had to give them huge breaks in power and weight and fuel etc. It's hard enough balancing the DPi's, but making them all equal to lmp2 seems like a work of futility. IMSA made it's own bed though, we'll see how they act/react soon.
