What? Where is that in the rules?

Body Specifications:
Any 190mm or 200mm body. Check
Body can be any body that is NOT on the ROAR T2 body list. Check
FWD encouraged to use FWD bodies N/A
However, Can AM or IMSA style bodies, similar to 1/12 or 1/8 bodies are also discouraged There's that meaningless word again
NO Trucks Check
Any "SCALE" molded wings can be used. Lexan wings 10mm maximum height / side dam height Check
Scale type race liveries encouraged Check

This body is legal according to the rules.

Yes, I'm a rule Nazi. Not going to apologize for that. But I'm baffled at how bodies like the Riley Prototype are allowed because "that's not what is winning" and this one is no different.

And please don't mistake my position. I am in the camp that purpose built racing cars should be excluded and the rules should tightened up and made black and white. I predicted more issues like this. My main reason being what if something just like the Riley prototype comes out, (it's legal, the precedent is set) and it is actually much, much, much better than everything else. USGT will become a one body class like WGT.

I believe your original intention is sound. GT cars. Just make the rule tighter.
