I read some opinion piece about doing that type of race, basically unrestricted F1.
The cars are pulling 5G now in braking and corners. If they could go to active aerodynamics, traction control, active suspension like the new Corvettes and 911GT3 has, ABS, and all the other modern computer controlled gizmos they might be pulling 7G in corners and under braking. I can't image 2 hours of track time at 5G and I few drivers could stand it at 7G without G suits, and the costs would be extreme. All the top drivers will stick to F1 unless the backers of the new series throws massive prize money to the drivers and teams.
I am a long long way from a professional race driver as a fat old man driving my basically stock 200 HP 85 911. I did a 25 minute session at Eagles Canyon track in Texas, in very pleasant weather and I was beat. Buy the time my run group came back up I had recovered and went back out pulling 1G in corners and having as mush fun as is legal in a car with clothes on. I did 130 miles of track time and my face was almost stuck with a big smile on my face. I honestly can't imaging the Le Mans or Dayton drivers in real race cars doing long stints and double stints, in very hot cars.
