The last couple of years I’ve watched Nurburgring was never geo blocked in Canada. I could watch the qualifyings and everything but apparently up until now I have to watch with a VPN. Is this new?

The topic was brought up briefly in today's race thread, but I think it warrants its own discussion.

In my opinion, the Bathurst 12h is in a really weird spot with regards to its class structure right now. While I generally prefer multiclass racing, it's hard to say what the non-GT3 classes add to the show at Bathurst, apart from making up the numbers and perhaps providing a little bit more variety for people at the track.

This then had me wondering what actually makes a good secondary or tertiary class, or in other words which secondary classes I have found to be particularily impressive over the years. The ones that come to mind are the GT2 classes in mid/late 2000s FIA GT and ALMS. The thing that has made those classes great were to me the teams. They weren't all all-pro-lineups, but there were always enough teams that were very serious about winning and drivers who were suitably charismatic. What is also important is the class size. I don't think a class with less than 8 or so cars will ever work for me.

With that in mind, I am now wondering what the ideal support classes for the Bathurst 12h would look like. I've got some ideas, but I am interesting in what you guys have to say, so I'll chime in with that later.
