While I like that many manufacturers want to play in the IMSA arena I don't like the hand tying of the rules . Maybe I am stuck in the past .

"Iconic" or dominate cars kill a race series. The 917 forced the FIA to the 3 liter cars and the 917-30 killed Can-Am. Sure all us Porsche fans loved it. Today it is about the show and it is entertainment and keeping fans coming back in person or on TV. Manufacturers don't spend millions and expect to lose year after year. Handicapping the cars is the only way to do it. Not every series does this but IMSA does.
