Watching the GT race from earlier today at VIR (GT and DPs run separately this weekend). Two new rules have been implemented to spice up the "show," apparently:

- everybody has to pit in the first 45 minutes, regardless of fuel/tire strategery, to force two pitstops

- a "lucky dog" pass on cautions for a lapped car, although they're using a different name

I enjoy GrandAm's product and have learnred to like the DPs, but this sort of stuff just rubs me the wrong way. :rolleyes:

Maybe Flavio Briatore's behind it? :D

i agree, i watched the race. the new rules seemed to take away from actual "racing". go porsche... pulling it off with an extra 400 lb balast...
