Yeah John Doonan went crazy with the gimmicks this year. The GTD Pro qualifying is fine for this year, but it makes no sense to have it in 2022. It needs to go after Petit Le Mans.
The Daytona Q-race is worth another shot, but this time I suggest have a prototype grid and a GT only grid. Two 1 hour 25 minute races. You can call it the "Motul Twin 125"...bring back the term since NASCAR is not using it anymore.
If IMSA would adopt "FCY" for debris and stalled car situations. The number of safety car periods where you have the wave arounds will reduce a ton. You still will have it but it won't be as much of a part. Would only be used for genuine accidents/crashes and bad weather.
Somebody hook me up with Doonan, we need to talk.
