I was surprised by that as well, has Manthey said anything about running the 24 previously? And the use of 59 is very interesting. |

Rebelllion has never put together a P2 before.
That may level things a bit. http://www.lemans.org/en/News/wec-re...-in-2017/43495 |

Not to diss the IMSA teams, but Rebellion has come over here and beat them before. If I had to pick a winner I'd pick Rebellion for the 24 at this point. I will want to see the driver line-ups for the other teams before actually putting my money down, but ... I don't think ESM has Pipo Derani, AXR has a pair of solid crews/driver line-ups but not (IMO) on Rebellion's level .... Sadly it will probably all come down to BoP, but otherwise .... |

We also don't yet know who IMSA wants to win.

To your point about Rebellion beating IMSA teams, they haven't faced the likes of WTR or AXR yet. They did crush Dyson and Muscle Milk, due in part to reliability. And unfortunately those boys didn't stick around after the merger. I'm interested to see how Rebellion does against a deeper field (in terms of quality and quantity) than their LMP1-L and previous ALMS P1 experience. To me this race is wide open, Rebellion no doubt has a solid program in place that smells of "we're here to win", which is thrilling to me. I love it, I love the whole attitude they are taking to IMSA, they are being very respectful of what it takes to win at this level. Whoever does stand atop the podium on Sunday afternoon at Daytona will have beaten perhaps the most diverse, and deepest prototype field in the race's history. Chris |

I'm hesitate to count out the Gibson. You gotta imagine that it's had some heavy heavy testing. And as the sole engine for all of P2, you can imagine there is some heavy investment in its success Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
