Obligatory photo of the original NASCAR Le Mans car, and I love the additional headlights on it

Also forget V8SC, they should bring a Turismo Carretera car to Le Mans

btw if you don't know what turismo carretera is, it's the most popular racing series in Argentina and also the oldest continuously operating racing series on the planet, having run since the 1930s

it's kinda like if mods had become the national series for NASCAR instead of stock cars, the cars are all very modified versions of 1960s sedan cars (this is an Argentine Ford Falcon). you might know it as "that series that keeps showing up in those compilations of massive crashes from South American racing series". also Norberto Fontana won the series once, and Norberto Fontana is cool.

also there were a bunch of weird things over the years, like the series having co-drivers until like 2010. or that they still raced on public roads on occasion until the late 90s.

They also have a track that's like, what if Indy had chicanes at the end of each straight and it kinda owns???

Rafaela, which I think is actually the longest non-test track oval track out there at 2.9 miles. Indy actually ran the oval once in one of their weird 1970s overseas races.

This is such a silly idea. Because it's not even quite what you describe.

For everyone else, if you win a race, you can't use push to pass at all on 10 laps of the next race if the next race is more than 17 laps. Whether it's 18 or 30. And a sliding scale of that bullshit for the top...5?10? Some number. But it's going to be massively different at Thruxton compared to say, Brands.

The BTCC is fake and fun anyway so who really cares

Presumably an actual hypercar instead of a rebadged Rebellion is going to not get BOPed because they won't have to do stupid equivalency formula tricks
