OK, I've got two points of view with the GT1 class.

They should either be as near as dammit stock, with just the basics required for racing. The cars could be allowed more power to ensure they are still darn quick.

What I cannot understand is the current GT1 rules format were manufactuers spend millions to build super expensive cars, only to have their performance cut (for whatever reason) semmingly year on year. Costs never seem to reduce though.

If the manufactuers are going to spend this much cash, at least give them something to aim for, and a real challenge to reach the 3.55 ACO 'limit'. Thats why I'd like to see smaller, lighter, less poweful GT1 cars which allow more technical freedom.

The manufactuers could then be allowed to devleop the cars as much as they like (as in DTM/JGTC) without the worry of the cars constantly being pegged back.
