ALMS was a joke this year. Four or five classes all running at once and TV coverage that did not allow one to track any of them well. Three cars in the fast class, who often were half fast as slower class cars beat them. I was surprised that they did not have a Formula V or Go Cart class out there too to fill the grids.
Rolex at least has two classes and decent competition. If they want a buncha classes they need a buncha separate races. I think ALMS ran so many classes is only because they did not have decent numbers in any of their classes. Most of them can vanish. I won't miss them.

By the way "downforce" is totally screwing all auto racing these days from Nascar to F1. It makes braking zones so short and cornering speeds so high that almost all race tracks are obsolete now. Nascar has turned into a "good or bad "tars" procession" and almost all racing is just follow the leader, big killer Indy Car super speedways excepted. If I want to watch aerodynamic races, I will go to Reno and watch the WWII fighter planes race. The cure, easy, bolt a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood vertically to the front of each race car and then then can have at it. Bah humbug!
