Ok, I'm not understanding one thing here.

In order to promote better competition, we should have a different class structure, factory vs. non-factory, which I don't think ROAR will be doing that kind of re-structuring anytime soon.

So with that said and foreseeing no factory and privateer Nats anytime soon, and we'll have only 1 Nats. Now we want non-spec'ed tires so there will be prototype or next-to-impossible-to-get tires in the competition so the factory drivers will have an advantage like Arian had mentioned earlier. And the average joe once again going back to having a disadvantage.

And a potential contraversy is what determines who is privateer, who is factory? 100 backing? Does 40/30/20 off consider as factory? It can get out of hand.

Then we have to think about since Nats is an IFMAR qualifier, so we split the amt of people qualify for the Worlds between the 2 "Nats"?
