Nope, not quite a mirror. GCR was merely the starting point.
Of course the rules for GT1 are not quite the same as for GT5, never mind
Production.
These solo people seem to have the silly idea that just because preparation
rules were originally created for road racing cars they are somehow
unsuitable for solo. Actually they are quite suitable, just that given a
certain allowance you might go this way for a road-race application and that
way for a solo application, but it is still the same rule. Any prep rule is
basically arbitrary -- doesn't much matter what the rule is only that there
is a rule so limits are established that define the car/category.
That said -- the Solo II Prep rules are mildly different from the GCR
GT/Production rules. IMHO, not so much that it makes a significant
difference. But there also is a paragraph in there somewhere that says if
yours is a GCR-legal car, it is therefore a Solo-legal car. The catch is you
have to be all one way or all the other, no taking the best from each book
and mixing them. My DP Solo car is really a dual-purpose GP race car. I
could care what the Solo II prep rules say. A long as I am GCR-legal I'm
good. You too if you like the GT rules better.
