Really? (again) What 'results' are you talking about? Non-scientific, uncontrolled conditions, un-equal drivers...what? I'll bet the results you're talking about have come from results at races and not a controlled experiment, where real results happen.
My point about dropping the wedge and a box was to demonstrate that aero advantages exist with the shape of the object, whether you think so or not, it's the laws of physics.
Understand that I love DP and LPM racing, as well as GT, so I'm not picking on the DP and LMP cars. I am however confused as to why classing is as difficult as it's being made.
Don't mean to be an a-hole about this but anyone with a lick of common sense can see a major difference in the body styles, which has to make a difference on track with all chassis set-ups, and driving skills, being equal.
Tell us, what exactly is the difficulty in classing cars based on the real world classes in real racing? (that is a serious question that begs for a serious answer) It sure would reduce the confusion and it would make the class what was intended when it began....competitive spec racing with recognizable cars that were designed for the street.
There is a place for DP and LMP cars....make a class for them! We had a 1/12 class for LMP (GTP) back in the 80s and it was a class by itself....and amazingly it worked out great.
