I think it's actually the other way round. In the US they make it so you can have LMP2 cars competing with LMP1 cars which is good and bad. I think for Le Mans they have it right with giving LMP1 cars a good advantage.

Incidentally, the information I gave earlier proved to be false: the incredibly tall men were still playing with their balls on Five US, but the Radio Times (other listings magazines are available) reliably informs me GrandAm is on in that slot next week.

I like DPs. They sound great and the racing's good. Plus they have decent some road-racers which why I can look past its NASCAR style formula.

I have more of a problem with something like A1GP where only 1 or 2 of its drivers should ever step foot in an F1 car.
