American way: cant beat it? ban it! american cars/drivers are just rubbish.

Because of Audi's dominance, SCCA banned both AWD and Non American engines in these races. It's a shame.

It's a good thing Europeans and FIA never cry about innovative American designs. They'd never change rules to outlaw Shelby or Chaparral cars. Nope.

@seroyer2 IMO I believe Trans Am, had a chance to rival BTCC and DTM back in those days had the competition stepped up to take on Quattro with equal or better technology, as opposed to outlawing the "unfair advantage". I am a full patriotic citizen of the US, however, I feel our motorsport rules have crippled our auto industry, making it an uphill battle for our domestic brands against European and Asian imports. Racing (DTM, Rally, etc) give some of the best R&D you can get.

@MXVWMatt Basically that rule has made IMSA and american road racing irrelevant in the world or sports car racing.

it's the american way to complain when you are getting beat on a consistent basis by superior technology. take your ass whopping and learn from it.

@MXVWMatt I know 3 year is a long time but... It is&it is not - there is another side to that story. SCCA&IMSA where in a really difficult situation already with one basic question "what are we racing?". The thing is the GTO Quattro were really different, structurally, than the "ponies" and costed a lot more. Many team where already saying "the development in the 4-turbo and in the V6 is unfair, we need change in equivalency formula or more money". Audi get caught in an old political debate ;)

i love how every Quattro vid always ends with somone bitching bout how unfair it is to get raped on a racetrack lol.

It's funny people think this is like the first and last time ever in the history of all motorsports that handicapping has taken place... pretty much all production based series have had and has some kind of performance balancing built in the regulations. Otherwise it wouldn't be possible to have so different kind of cars on similar performance level.
