So the FiA has scheduled a press conference for Tuesday, right?
What will they do? They never go to these things so their presence is unusual, and it seems that something had to trigger it - probably the new GT announcement.
In my quick scan again of the FIA GTE rules, the only barrier to entry is the primary carbon fiber construction. CF is currently only allowed for accessories like wings but not body panels and not for the structural tub.
I predict they will remove this restriction for 2016. It helps reduce overall weight, improves efficiency and would be consistent with their "green" thing. I could also see some additional restrictions to the advantages the CF might bring (e.g., reduced fuel load).
Is their event going to be webcast? Is anyone going to see what they called this for?
