arakis has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Actually he makes good points, and is on the dime as they say...

GTE and GT3 are too conceptually different to be blended...

if they try to impose rules on GT3 manufs will bolt, if the thye further dilute the rules in GTE manufactures won't bolt, but manuf investment/involvement/development will drop...

He is right IMO...but what he doesn't know/or perhaps knows and fears, is that the new class will be GT3(without ratel)

as based on the health ALMS grid, and a very lively competition in WEC it's good pushing toward fine..it's neither poor, nor is it excellent...
GTE is basicly identical to GT2, the rules are different as much as GT2 2007 rules are different to gt2 2009 rules...


As for the last point and his sugestion I like it so much it will be my new SIG
