For the most part I like a mix of GTP and GTD but in IMSA I order them as:
1) GTP LMH/LMDH 2) LMP2 3) GT3/GTD 4) LMP3 Would prefer more GT3/GTD cars over LMP3 |

Good talk hope more posters will give their preferences. I'm in the minority I guess. I always have been and always will be a GT fan first and foremost. Granted the current hypercars are awesome. I like them way better than LMP1 and DPI. What baffles me is how anyone can like spec pro am prototype cars. LMP2 is the old Oreca 07s. Big deal. |

Spec, just like BoP, is a tool for equalising the performace potential. It has its advantages and disadvantages, but for current LMP2 it serves its purpose relatively well. |

Unfortunately I don't have too much to add. I've always joked that I came for the racing and stayed for the BS politics, but these days with a family of my own I really don't get around to watch much racing anymore, so I mostly keep tabs on a few series WEC/IMSA/DTM via post race coverage on DSC...the politics have also become kinda lame now that sportscar racing in almost all classes has reached a BoP-induced equilibrium.

Good racing! That’s what it has. And some amazing team and driver performances to really get into in the race.
Be awful if it was the only class, but it is a great class. I’d be happy with this and Hypercar as the two classes in WEC. Although more than happy with what we have. Mind you what about we have more Hypercars and they can flex the second class of LMP2 more easily as 5e entries come and go? |

I watch cars built from required suppliers with almost all the exact same engine regardless of body applied. Oh and they bring 40 plus fields most races. It's TA2 racing in TransAm and streams for free on YT. TA is fun but it's 2 or 3 guys and wondering who's gonna explode

I do follow some GT3 racing but I'm only interested if there's a pro class, so for example IMSA GTD and the big GT3 races like Spa 24, N24, Bathurst, etc. The neutered pro/am GT3s in WEC don't do it for me, though I still much prefer them in the grid over LMPOreca. Don't really care about LMP3 or GT4. |

I feel your pain at times with GTAm style racing, it does occasionally offer up some interesting racing, but there are too many teams that are miles and I mean miles off the pace, you get it in all motor racing I guess, but for ALL the drivers in a team to be poor says something to me about what a teams is doing there.
I do say again that GT4 for me often offers very good racing, the Ratel series in particular I have got into a lot this year, so much so I have gone back and watched a few races form the past. |
