Multi-Class-Racing: Good, bad or ugly?

[Speed-King]

We've touched upon this in a few other threads before, but since it's been somewhat quiet in here lately and I like me some good speculation and what-if-threads, a dedicated thread for the subject.

I am too young (and too German ) to have ever seen true multi-class-racing in a major European Touring car Championship, but from what I see on the sportscar side of the racing world, I really like the idea and think that it produces at least in sportscar racing noticeably better races than single class competition. There might not be as many drivers to race against in your own class, but lapping traffic always seems to create interesting passing opportunities and unpredictable situations. And then there's of course the aspect of possibly elegible cars.

But while multi-class-racing is exciting in sportscar races, our Procar series with its three classes is hardly anything to write home about. I think that is more due to the extremely varying levels of talent in that series and the too short race distances that create hardly any traffic.

So, what's your opinion?
