Good point. The goal is to win the race, not have a pretty car. But if you're writing the rules, why deliberately write them to engineer an ugly car? It's spec racing right now. Why write the specs to mandate something ugly?

Did they not learn from the Daytona Prototype fiasco? Who in the general public lusts to have one of those bricks in their fantasy garage? But I (an average fan) would love to see a Ferrari 512, or Porsche 917, or Nissan R390, or Audi R18 (to continue the DP/prototype comparison). Pretty helps sell tickets.
