The current FIA driver ranking already counts 183 platinum drivers and is far from complete.Alexander van der Griendnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101784122100352616.post-29248651639113854212016-03-07T00:52:48.793+00:002016-03-07T00:52:48.793+00:00Spot on!

As far as LMP vs. GT balance is concerned, manufacturers shouldn't be upset, because they tend to have superior talent, reliability, pit pocedures etc. on their side. As Pescarolo said, privateers will be happy to be at least within a chance whenever things go wrong for the works teams. Also I believe that this situation would call for a global 'true GT' class to replace the current GTE-Am and GT3. Something like GT4 in philosophy, but just fast enough to be the 3rd class at Le Mans, as well as the top class at N24 and Bathurst. Let's face it, GT3s are becoming too fast for some tracks (and drivers, frankly) too far removed from their homologation roadcars and too expensive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463184816796782765noreply@blogger.com
