Yes, but my reply was meant in a more positive view...

As it is, worst case its 4 diff series (US,EU, SEA, JP) and only the 1st placers in selected chassis make it to JP anyway, so that means it's a disadvantage for about 12 people globally who win tickets to JP. For the majority it's consistency of local series rules that counts, so as long as regionally its consistent, the more of that the better. Much like the rules in Oz infact (ie. consistent application).

Having grown up racing in the S'pore TC series, and doing that last 8 in Europe, my feeling is it's getting better and more uniform every year.
