rjg I think you have put your finger on the soloution.
Realy it is only a mild loosening of the Series Production rules that is needed.
Slicks allowed. More freedom in wheel and brake upgrades to facilitate quick changes.
Allow manual gearboxes where the model imported has only an automatic or allow changes in the control of the transmissions.
Some freedom in fuel system and tank design and placement retaining tank size to capacity restrictions that apply at present.
As you suggest no older than one superceeded model and some limit related to numbers of the particular car/engine/transmission combination produced to prevent a repeat of the Monaro fiasco.
The other thing that might be usefull is an old Le Mans style index of performance based on wieght/laps covered/fuel consumption. Could make a great marketing tag for an importer or manufacturer to hang their hat on.
And of course they would still have to fit the 130% rule, would be on compatible slicks so if well driven wouldn't be too much of a problem to the GT3 front runners.
Now all we have to do is get the entry fees down and the fuel and tyre contracts sorted.
