I even think a GT-2 class would be great in GT.
at least make this show interesting and get a few cars out there for crymeny.

I agree that that they have allowed way too many mods, like sequential gearboxes and moving suspension pick-up points in TC, etc. But they never allowed tube-framed cars. There are GT cars that have extremely modified chassis, but not true tube frames.
I was hopeful that the WC Vision group would improve the series. I love the sprint format, to me it's more exciting than longer endurance races. But so far I have only managed to watch the Sebring race, the TV coverage has been so random and late that I haven't been able to get any of the others recorded. I think they did a decent job with the 1 hour show I saw but I didn't like it as much as the old format.
They introduced new TC rules to reduce costs and increase participation, they reversed themselves and allowed the new Acuras to run the old engines and sequentials- WTF? Now they have introduced a TC2 class with tighter rules but no prize money.
I really hope they can do something to improve the series and the coverage of it...

Clarkson tested one of the trophy series cars on Top Gear - pretty cool.

Total speculation here......one who have to suspect that this is an effort to move inventory. Perhaps M-B can move a few unsold cars by following the Porsche customer race car model..... except in this case they are conversions.
