The rules also try to keep things relatively even as far as power to weight and such.

Did not know that. Looks like they didn't do so awesome afterall

Why do they have two different classes racing together then?

That happens in a lot of series. In fact, Le Mans runs 2 or 3 classes at a time.

It's so that multiple classes can run on the same track, and actually part of the challenge of driving the faster class is lapping the slower cars as the race goes on.

Yeah it just seems like that slower classes have no chance of winning, so why even run. I guess it gives them a good learning experience for how they do against cars that are better than them.

They compete for class wins.
