You are correct, when the ACO boys wrote the rules, they made sure the rules were tilted in favour of certain concerns, so said same concerns would come and play.
.The ACO is little different fromt the others, the diesel is what it is ONLY, because new contrived rules were written to make it competitive, or actually give it an edge.
It is worse than dummying all down to the lowest common denominator, it is lowering all except the chosen ones, down to less than a common denominator.
The variety in the GT classses is nice, but then the FIA is heads and tails better than the ACO, at their own ballgame; although give the FIA some time , they can grab defeat from the jaws of victory in a heartbeat, but until then they got their act together.
It seems the market for rose colored glasses is booming.
