I believe all cars that run these events should prepared as yours is, precisely how it was back in the day.

Since the later BMW's don't get to run G-3 they would not have come under any scrutiny. The cutoff date for G-3 is 1966. The TA cars in general are known to have way more power than they did in the era. I have prepared my GTA with a legal 1600 motor. Of course we are doing the best we can to make good power and I am sure headwork by Dan Marvin is better than what was done in the era. I am hoping to run in the G-3 class when there is no TA group and have opted for a G-3 legal car. I don't care if they have cheater motors as long as they are good drivers and good sports (i.e. not foolish passes)---in an incident they are fixing steel I am fixing unobtainium panels.
If they start pulling the 02L cars on the straights....now that would be a problem .
