It just seems like everything thing they do makes the system more cumbersome, not less so.
One unintended consequence is that they just made it even less likely that my underfactored combination will get HP.

This was done because there are differences in the FWD and RWD platforms for GT cars. It has been in the rules for a long time just not enforced by the AHFS. Plus there are NO FWD GT engine combinations. They run a combo that was in a RWD car hence needing the separate HP evaluation.
