Default Wow is right! Went to 49.4% restrictors before the turbos (from none before) is extreme!

What's next......sleds to tow behind the cars? BTW, did they ever force Cadillac to make their cars the actual size they needed to be? As much as I hate to see them place that many restrictions on the Audi's, I have to admit that their usage of penalties have kept the racing fairly close considering the difference of the vehicles involved.

We have totally lost sight of what racing was meant to be.

Right, that is what I thought as well after reading this... this is pretty crazy.

They should...How do they expect the turbos to work without Intercoolers?

Default may I be the first to say....GOOD.

the whole point of this series is that a bunch of very different cars need to be closely competitive. Audi has been STOMPING the competition. If these restrictions are too drastic, they'll be repealed.

put aside the blind brand loyalty for a second and think about the fans of the series. Plus, audi has the best drivers and will probably still be able to win.

Default BOOO to you sir. They had already restricted the power ouput of the motor this year, now this...

Don't forget this car is heavier than most in the field. The Caddy is not a real road going edition with a lot more power than the RS6 and they are backed by GM. It seems no matter what Audi does in which ever series they run they either get banned or restricted enough that it is just not worth it to race anymore. All I can say is fvck you SCCA for your stupid rules. Now it's who ever owns them get to write the rules.

it's called "Factory backed"...that's the biggest reason why they do so well.

Default At least they got the wider tires. I think it get's kinda boring seeing them dominate, just like F1

but I do like to see them do well. Personally I'd like to see the GTO and Vipers get some help.
