I hadn't really thought about it but I can't see these new cars getting into truly private hands for 18 months at least. Any additional entries before then would be tied to manufacturers anyway.

But in practice who would this rule really effect? They would need to draw up some kind of criteria. I think it's maybe in reference to guys like the Eurolamp Mini drivers. Maybe Solowow? Older guys like that. But then you're at risk of being ageist if they have more experience than guys like Camilli. So then you'd need to factor in speed, previous results etc. Either way I think they've created a problem here before there actually was one.

Having that 2017 cup for the older cars would be perfect as it gives those drivers and cars somewhere to compete. It would also really benefit younger drivers.
