Why don't they instead use success ballast? Therefore, bad drivers in good cars wouldn't get penalized.

You won't see more than one team per car make in GTD Pro most likely, MAYBE multiple Porsche but the rest, it's a single or 2 car team per so BOP will impact the same team's cars. So I don't think you would see an issue there. Plus that allows a better BOP for the Ams who pay but may not run as well as the Pro-Pro team in the same car. Don't penalize the guys who pay well to play.

Other than that it makes sense to hold station with other specs as manufacturers didn't seem interested in building a better mousetrap. And gives them 2022 to test and develop for the likely confidential tires in 2023.
