Ironic thing being is that this event clashes with an ITCC event at Misano...

I have a question. Not that it is the first time :uhoh: .

Forgive me for sounding dumb (Then again what else do you expect from someone that is dumb!) but is their some kind entry into this that is open to most drivers or is it a series with a set roster of drivers like their is in the BTCC, WTCC or DTM? Only I read about it in news articles indirectly but not as coverage.

From memory it's drivers who have done about 75% of a national S2000 championship that year. Jason Plato did it in 2005 in a Toledo and Rob Collard in a GR Asia Toledo (despite actually racing a BTC-T car, he was allowed to because his series permitted S2000 cars). There were restrictions on drivers who had done some WTCC events I think, but there may have been a percentage involved in there somewhere. Can't be bothered finding it at this precise moment.
