For a spec class, I think a DS/CS hybrid with a couple of allowances to make the car better suited for HPDE too would be ideal.

All DS allowances, maybe allow the TRD springs or some other spec spring kit (RCE?) for both cars, keep shock rules the same as they are for DS/CS, 8" wheels, power mods stay the same as DS/CS (essentially non-existent), and oil coolers.

An argument for more camber could easily be made too. With the options being to either allow camber plates fitted for OEM style suspension setups, or simply opening up the camber bolt options. For a spec type class, and in the interest of making this a more affordable hybrid to ideally suit those who do both solo and HPDE, I'd be more in favor of opening up the camber bolt rules. For rear camber LCAs, or maybe a specific spec class LCA, could also be an option.

The idea has a lot of potential, I think the focus just needs to be kept on making the setup one that will work well for both a competitive solo class and reliable track day participation.
