So that the most powerful cars like the 7-litre Corvettes, Vipers and V12 Astons would be the heaviest of the bunch, competing against lighter Ferraris and Porsches with smaller engines, with the likes of Lotus and Ginetta in the less powerful but ultra-light subclass. All of these 3 'subclasses' must be equally competitive for the overall GTE win on a theoretical 'average' circuit. More powerful cars then would be given smaller restrictors for Le Mans. The scoring within GTE should be overall only (except GTE-Pro / Am, but that's another matter).

Example:
GTE-1: N/A over 4.5 litres (or equivalent smaller capacity for a forced induction engine) / 1300kg - for cars that used to be GT1 meterial
GTE-2: N/A 3.0-4.5 litres (or equivalent smaller capacity for a forced induction engine) / 1150kg - pretty much GT2
GTE-3: N/A under 3 litres (or equivalent smaller capacity for a forced induction engine) / 1000kg - Ginettas, Evoras, Caymans, even things like GT86

But this whole thing should be kept for anoraks on forums. The racing should look as if it's all one class.

I really like this idea! Having all the cars stay in one class keeps the car count high and doesn't confuse the average viewer!
