Well, looks like those with MS-R and Z0Ks got hosed to pave the way for the toyobaru. I'm indifferent on this as I don't own any of these (yet), but I'm sure the top 5 finishers at Nats last year in CS are none too happy...

4 of the top 5 at 2011 Nats were Z0Ks. The other was an MX-5 (and probably an MS-R). In 2010, the top 3 were all in MX-5s as well. One last bit-Z0Ks can fit 295 hoosiers on their wheel. It's insanely awesome to look at. And upon second reading of the FasTrack, I saw that it was just a proposal. I'm with you...it will get canned. IMO, I think it is somewhat silly that they are trying to realign the classes a bit to make the Suboya a top dog. It's only been out a month or two...let things develop for the platform before you propose shuffling cars around. |

One thing to consider: moving the ZOK and MS-Rs to BS will not necessarily put the BRZ in the top spot in CS. The 370Z and NB Miata ('99 Sport) will remain and possibly be top dogs, I believe more so than the RX-8's. Arguably the 370Z should be the top car in the current mix, however very few have been developed and campaigned. Would the next front runner to get in the way of the BRZ moved to BS as well?
I also agree that the ZOK and MS-R would not be competitive in BS. The Solstice GXP (turbo) is faster than the base ZOK given the same driver; if not there is something wrong. I believe FS could use a refresh. Very few folks are buying Mustangs for autocross. Admittedly there would be a drastic course dependency if you were to put a 2013 GT up against a BRZ. |

I agree. In the end I think there will be enough CS Toyobarus this year to find a good permanent home for it. The statement in Fastrack about moving the Z0K and MS-R playing a role in its CS classification was a mistake in my opinion since it's not a done deal.
