Thanks, Fogel and SK. That clears it up.....somewhat.
I am for anything that has cool cars and close competition. It does sound promising with some potential, but "potential" can be a dangerous thing. |

Perhaps this is the covert way of bringing in a new hi tech NASCAR sprint cup car?

I remember it was a literary notable. The original was: Put love in one hand and shi-e in the other and see which first fills. |

Not hardly, seeing as they've spent the last few years getting the new COT implemented and ironed out. I can see the 5.0 litre stock block powerplants making their way to the cup cars, but the chassis isn't going to change.

Have ALMS as an endurance sportscar series, and Grand-Am as a sprint silhouette series. Having the GA/DTM rules cars running 3.4l 2011 P1 engines would make more sense than 4.0l NA V8s though. |

I'd keep the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 6 Hours at the Glen as special races, then make the rest sprint races (sub-120min).
