FIA/ACO to create universal GT class

Best of both worlds, perhaps over-simplified but it would be nice to know which parts of a GTE car are more expensive than GT3 (I would imagine the engine is the biggest cost here). Then it can be decided which parts would be on the GT3-base car (to keep it relatively cheap) and which parts could be on a GTE-upgrade kit so the manufacturers have some more detailed regs to work with on those sections only.

Probably much easier said than done, I admit!

That sounds like a really good plan, actually. There's one side, the GTEs, which would take a big financial blow if they had to scrap all these mechanical parts, and GT3, which would need to undergo more modification. Nice to meet in the middle, if you get what I'm saying.
