Too many classes. This is what ruined ALMS. Even an avid fan couldnt tell the classes apart. When you have to go to color coding on the TV screen to differentiate the classes you know you have a problem. No one was watching ALMS, look at the lack of TV coverage to prove that point. Keep it simple.
Grand Am won this battle of the brands because they kept it simple. It was easy to watch. DP cars and GT cars. Easy on the eyes.
ALMS top prototype class had two cars and the LMP classes were Indistinguishable.
I hope they reconsider and can come up with a format of no more than three classes.

For GT cars, any more than 2 classes is too much. Was there not a plan a while ago to roll the north American specs into the international GT3 spec?

At most 3 classes and they must be easy to tell apart.

I find it laughable that they are saying the GTC cars will be rolled into Rolex GT. That's like asking a 997 Carrera to go race against Cup Cars. GTC Cups are way different than Rolex GT class Cups. A GTC car needs another $100k of work put into it to make it on par with a Rolex car.
