As far as I am concerned, this new contrived racing (not allowing the smaller prototype classes to even try for overall wins) is mind boggling.(at least to mine)
If you limit classes from competing against eachother, then you cannot have overall winners. "Overall" implies winning against all. If you are limited to competeing in your class, then the best you can acheive is a Class win. Even if you are in the top class! If , in theory, you are not really competing with any other class, then you cant be an "overall" winner.
I have no problem with a split in the Prototype classes, as long as they only reflect different philosophies (ie. big engined, heavier cars in one class and smaller engined, lighter cars in another) to obtaining the same goal; an Overall win!!
I was stunned to discover that most peolple on the other forum thought this to be outrageous!
If I outrage anyone on this forum, please accept my apologies in anticipation.
