2020 LeMans rule change
With LMP car being eliminated from the 24 hrs of LeMans after this year, might be a good time to prepare and rewrite the GT body List with a 1 year notice.
What if we split USGT into 2 classes? There is always a war going on between the "win at all cost" crowd vs the scale crowd. I say give them what they want, scale guys run the GT class (has to be a real car, real liveries, run at LeMans, maybe even 25.5). Performance's oriented racers can keep their body of the week (that are not really GT cars but more like hypercars) such as the pzero, R-tek, Venom and other super/hypercars.
Simplest way to differentiate is what class do they run at Lemans, Sebring or similar endurance races. Vette, viper, 911, Aston Martin are all true GT cars. Pagani, McLaren Saleen are super/hypercars.
FYI Hypercars will replace LMP prototypes in 2020 so this would be the perfect opportunity to follow suit in RC. A class for scale guys (GT). & Hypercars for the performance crowd. Could this work with a 1 year notice to prepare racers and manufactuers? Thoughts?
