IMHO, that minimum weight for HP is a big reason the class has not been successful. At 3,142 lbs, the cars are a pig on track. IP at 2,970 lbs makes for a more lively car (and the numbers in IP support this premise). If the club allowed HP at 3,000 lbs I think we’d see more cars in that class.

Oddly, the E86M is classed in GP with a minimum weight of 2,972 lbs.
Good point... part of the reason why I chose to race IP this year. Miss the z4MC but the IP weight/power and competition is great.
