But.... considering you've acknowledged it's closer to all spec racing, wouldn't the presence of the GTs at least put SOME burden on the drivers to demonstrate they can THINK and drive fast?
I don't think the yellows go away with the GTs. Heck, the starts are separated by class, and yet, more times than not, there is a yellow on the first lap.
Maybe the problem is a.) not enough "space" in the rules/technology for teams to show their abilities in developing the car and b.) not enough power to get out of one another's way?
It's kind of like restrictor plate racing. The more you take out of the driver's hand, the less of a factor he becomes. I mean, that's one way to look at it.
