[QUOTE="GTSpartan, post: 16893780, member: 21531"] I'm not motivated enough to decipher the GT3 rule book and BoP formulas, but have always been curious on how the governing bodies set everything. I understand (not necessarily agree with) most of the BoP measures regarding power/weight/fuel load/aero, but can't wrap my head around the design allowances/freedoms for some of the entries. What I mean is certain cars are "relatively" similar to their factory counterparts, while others are a very radical departure. I think a good example is this Mustang vs. their prior GT race programs. It is my understanding that the Ford GT race cars were quite similar to the road going versions, while this Mustang is really not even remotely close (different engine, suspension, transmission placement, etc.). Not throwing shade on it at all, just pointing out the latitude the rules packages allow for car to car. I suppose enticing more manufacturer's to build and race their cars requires flexible rules. No one wants to invest millions of dollars and not have a chance to win. Only half of the F1 teams do that! [/QUOTE]
