What is it Tommy, are you afraid of those FF2000s kicking your ass in BM?
:-)
Seriously, I'm not a fan of restrictors and huge weight penalties to try to
produce equality. These sorts of things just produce bastard cars.
Especially considering that the proposal in Fastrack calls for removing the
wings.
Personally, if I were to get into the class again, and the options were:
FF1600 (as today)
S2000 (as today)
FF2000 without wings and with restrictors/weight
I can't imagine wanting to do the third one, unless the restrictors and weight
penalties were such that I thought it would still have an advantage. Why do
you think this would increase CM class entries?

Don't over react! Think about it, the 2000 fits.
Frame and suspension are the same, in some cases, exactly.
Power easily fixed with restrictor plate, conservatively.
CM has turned the corner, beginning to decline. Check numbers. FF has been
in decline for years.
S2000 has not been overwhelming in CM, even with hp and downforce advantage.
They look big, because of body, but wb/track essentially the same.
F2000 is healthy. We will also have to address FSCCA soon, another version
of F2000, which should also land in CM, restricted.
IMHO, the stock F2000 wings/diffusers have little effect in Solo 2 and could
be left on, countered by restrictor.
The idea is to not allow F2000 to have a chance to dominate CM, adjust
restrictions with experience.
It just makes sence. We need to look to the future. I think it could work
extremely well, if applied conservatively and intelligently...
