and for the love of God if Ferrari puts some nice drivers in a couple 458's! GTLM will be spectacular...It will be hard to watch any other class in the series.

The extra car could contest the final three WEC rounds at the Fuji, Shanghai and Bahrain circuits or remain in the US after Austin ahead of a potential Aston Martin assault on next January's Daytona 24 Hours, the first round of the new United SportsCar Racing series. "We have a desire to do Daytona," explained Gaw, "so one option is to leave the car in the US after Texas to do some testing in preparation for that http://www.racer.com/thiim-to-replac...rticle/307311/ |

No idea on the scheduling of the series yet, but here is my idea of a 12 race calendar. Daytona (24hrs) Sebring (12hrs) Laguna Seca Mid-Ohio Mosport Park Road America Watkins Glen (6hr) Indianapolis Baltimore or Detroit COTA Petit Le Mans (10hrs) Lime Rock The 'fantasy' schedule include's all the premier races from Grand-Am and ALMS and also all the tracks both series ran at this year. Cut from the series should be IMHO: Long Beach (too small) Baltimore or Detroit (only real need for 1 street circuit, might have difficulties with grid sizes) VIR & Barber (cutting out the southern states of Virginia and Atlanta might be a bit harsh, but they have NASCAR right?) Kansas (None likes a Roval) |

Interesting that 8Star are looking to hedge their bets and run a P2 and a couple of DPs next year.

If it's down to 11, I'd say Kansas is out. I'd also swap Mid-Ohio for Long Beach, Detroit or Indy. Andy Flinn |

Dump Indy, Kansas and Detroit. Add in Mid Ohio, VIR and anything but Indy, Kansas or Detroit.

GTD entries will be tough to predict. I have more questions about the rules and regs with this category than I do with LMP2/DP.

However I don't see what is holding the USCR to Detroit. If you look at my map, it's pretty clear that the USCR has really covered the Midwest and Northeast well. I've labeled the tracks blue if they are basically confirmed and red if there is still much debate over their existence in the future schedule. They've already got four races (five if you count Kansas) in the Midwest/Northeast in Watkins Glen, Indy, Road America, and Mosport... why do they need another one in Detroit? Personally I quite like the Belle Isle track and would trade Kansas or Indy for it in a heartbeat but unfortunately it seems like it may be Detroit that's taking the blow. Spreading the wealth to Barber Motorsports Park, VIR, or even Miller Motorsports Park would seem to be the wiser alternative. Essentially, if Kansas and Indy are included, Detroit is probably out. However, if Kansas is dropped and it's Detroit versus Barber or VIR, there's no doubt that the vast majority of fans would pick Barber or VIR. |

NASCAR tries to inject some kind of history into racing at Indy when nobody cares about anything but the Indy 500 there. F1 drivers never liked the road course and neither do the MotoGP guys. I saw an article about the proposed IndyCar race on the roval and the guy making all of these decisions said they would be changing the circuit if the IndyCars actually raced on it. Good. They couldn't make it any worse, unless they put railroad tracks on it. |

For next year I really hope we don't lose some stellar teams such as Turner. I really like those guys. |
