Then you'll have a collection of Supra's who all go at different speeds.
Then they will divide into classes within classes.
Then somebody will turn up with a Supra that is built specifically to the series regulations, and they've spent a million bucks on, and they'll snot everyone.
Then there will be handicap racing.
The guy will drop another million bucks, and start two laps down and still win.
Then people will ditch the class, and start their own class that they can win. Then the people who don't win, will start their own class. Then the sport will say "why the hell are there 400 classes with 5 cars each in them". Then they will amalgamate into one series. Then it will return to the start again.
If this resembles how Super GT has happened in NZ, then this may, or may not be a coincidence, and I may or may not have watched them become six different classes all featuring the name "sedan" in it ... then go back to being just one class again.
Motor racing classes (by which I mean the politics of running a car class, not the actual racing) in NZ are seriously funny to watch, because they tend to follow a couple of patterns time after time.
