Plus gentlemen drivers funding most of a GTD car has to be a better bang for the buck with more cars. And GTP taking up a ton of that funding too

Lambo single car NAEC only is a bit of a head-scratcher given it was assumed they'd prioritise IMSA. Maybe they have a second car at Daytona but they're still in bare minimum territory.

Corvette GTP is redundant with Cadillac (another GM brand) in the class unless GM wants to replace Cadillac with Chevrolet to run a Corvette branded GTP car.

Or the mention in s365 Thursday Notebook
**Further details on the Genesis LMDh program have yet to be confirmed, including its choice of team for the GTP class. Sportscar365 believes that a championship-winning GT organization has emerged as a possible candidate alongside Chip Ganassi Racing and Bryan Herta Autosport. https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/r...y-notebook-12/ |

They should probably practice with an LMP2 car next year…

Well looks like we will have LMP2s around a bit longer, homologation extended through 27. And Hypercar through 29 from the FIA meeting today

More cross-series driving; looks like the manufacturers have decided that more seat time is key to performance and consistency.
Again, strong lineups all-round. Understandably, Hartley can't do more than Daytona, but Stevens is a known quantity and should fit in well with the #10 crew. However, Lynn in the #40 is an incredibly strong lineup for the endurance races, easily on-par with either of Porsche's endurance lineups. Bamber in IMSA is probably the right call, and Aitken makes a formidable pair - they'll be quick if nothing else. Interesting that, if Bamber is announced at Jota as expected, IMSA takes priority over WEC for the Spa/Laguna Seca clash, especially given how important Spa is as a warmup to Le Mans. |
