I'm legitimately excited to see how a sprint race goes down at Daytona. Everyone is so civilized and patient during a 24, I wanna see violent lunges into T1 and the Bus Stop.

I remember hearing some grumbling about teams having to make sure they have Daytona parts (like gearing sets) ready for the race again. Which is fair.

Luckily that only includes DPi and GTLM, the better funded teams. GTD run homologated, fixed gear stacks, and LMP2 aren't running (and ate limited to Le Mans gears by IMSA reg anyway

did a quick google https://www.hagerty.com/media/market-trends/cars-named-after-famous-racetracks/ I honestly am not sure if I've ever heard of the Dodge Daytona before (a loving K-Car!). I've heard of the upmodel Chrysler Laser though.

IROC raced them for a bit as well. Also the Chrysler Sebring may be my least favorite car of all time. hunnert car pileup fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Jun 3, 2020 |

Porsche pulled out of GTLM in WTSC from next year. Bummer. Edit: it would seem insane not to run a factory supported team at Daytona but what do I know.

Each manufacturer in IMSA has to pay $1 mil in media/activation money to support the series. This includes the Michelin Challenge. So with how many teams run 911s in GTD and the Cayman in the Michelin series...they can’t be pulling all of that out, can they?

VW are trying to shut down everything though and LMDh is still born, especially if you're VW and are going to want to run at least a hybid, because they'll just cripple your hybrid until an LMP2 can beat it anyway.

Presumably the Hybrid engine will be faster than the stock LMP2 V8. If it works, low cost LMP2 with manufacturer prestige, it'll be awesome. If not we still have GtePro. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Jun 7, 2020 |

Lol nah GTE pro is dying fast. Too expensive, especially compared to prospective LMDh budgets. If we don't get GT3/GTE convergence out of this, GTE is gonna go the way of DTM
