Seems ridiculous. I can only guess someone with a Daytona Prototype convinced someone in SCCA that they had a lot of friends who would race with SCCA if only there was a class.

Having said that, I would like to see them race with us, but only if they are in the race group with GT-1 cars, not formula cars.

I almost want to buy a FV just to see what a test day is like with a DP roaring past me

I ran SVRA at MidOhio last year with a very tired Pinto FC in the Wings and Slicks run group. It included Mansell's 1989 Ferrari F1 car, a 2000s Dallara F1 or F2 car, a Chevy Spice GTP car, and a modern GT40... not fun... but was an interesting way to see that Ferrari!

.....and how many times did you get to see the back of the Ferrari?

This is an official communication from SCCA Road Racing in Topeka:
- - New Formula X (FX) and Prototype X (PX) classes will be created for inclusion in all Regional, Conference Majors and Hoosier Super Tour events.
    
    Formula X (FX)
    
    New class serving as a place for up and coming or sunsetting spec winged/open-wheel classes to have an entry point.
    Classes/cars included in FX: FM, F4, USF2000
    FX should be included in the Winged Open Wheel group. In instances where this is separated into two, it would be with FC, FE2, etc.
    FX is eligible for the 2020 SCCA Runoffs but is on probation (must have 10 cars to crown a champion).
    
    Prototype X (PX)
    
    New class to provide an entry point into SCCA Road Racing for recent professional Prototype cars, including IMS, Grand-Am, ACO, etc.
    Classes/cars included in PX: Daytona Prototypes Gen #1-3, Le Mans Prototypes 1-3; Daytona Prototype Int’l Le Mans Prototype Challenge; ASR
    PX should be included in the Big Bore Closed Wheel group (GT1, etc)
    While PX participants will race for event trophies and contingency awards at U.S. Majors Events, the class will NOT recognize a Conference Class Champion or a Hoosier Super Tour Points Champion (similar to how GTX treated).
    PX is NOT eligible for the 2020 SCCA Runoffs.
- - Formula Mazda (FM) will be removed as a GCR recognized class and be incorporated into the Formula X (FX) class.
- - Formula B (FB) will be removed as a GCR recognized class and the FB spec line will remain classed in Formula Atlantic (FA) only.
  - Formula Enterprises (FE) will no longer a Majors or Runoffs-eligible class. Its status will change to a GCR-recognized Regional Only class. FE cars may run in FE2.
  - Summary of 2020 Hoosier Super Tour/Conference Majors class list:
    
    AS, B-Spec, EP, F500, FA, FC, FE2, FF, FP, FV, FX, GT1, GT2, GT3, GTL, GTX, HP, P1, P2, PX, SM, SRF3, STL, STU, T1, T2, T3, T4
