Track time will be dominated by cars with horsepower. The longer the straight the more it will show. If the track day is anything like before, the only passing zone on the short course will be on the straight, and the entrance to the rubber room will be coned slightly to force slower speeds through it. The ONLY way to pass is to get a good run on the person in front of you, and get flagged to pass. If it was based purely on the cars, without a passing flag, it would all come down to horsepower.

RS's against each other need a longer course to overtake each other (like the full course) But the WRX's have a huge hp advantage and will walk away from the RS's every time. The only way to pass a WRX will be to Truly out drive them, (ie. they really make a bad mistake or drive crappy) or to be let by by the flagger. 'cause shooting them is illegal

The true fun will be on the long course between the WRX's battling each other and the RS's battling each other. Just think JGTCC GT300 and GT600 races or GT and LMP classes at Le Mans

I don't mean to sound negative, but that's the way it is...
