...and there are already dozens of single-make spec series that provide exactly that

For some of us, part of the appeal is seeing manufacturers and teams take totally different approaches to winning within a basic set of rules- FWD v RWD, turbo v non-turbo etc

If I want to see how different drivers perform given exactly the same car I'll go and watch Porsche Supercup, Renault Clios or one of the spec single-seater classes- and often with saloon/touring car one-make series you might end up with incredibly close races, but you can also sometimes end up with cars that are incredibly dull to watch and driving standards that deteriorate into a total crashfest.....

Would you go to watch Le Mans if it was run for spec Porsche GT3 Cup cars?
