luckly for porsche and audi, riley isn't involved anymore in lmp2, everything is up to multimatic now. I would think that it's a new lmp3 considering it became onroak core business during last years, but the coupé section doesn't look wide enough to be a lmp3 car. To reveal a next gen lmp2 now doesn't make much sense to me considering there are still 2 years to go to get final homologation for 2024 debut. Is it possible for chassis manufacturers to introduce a new current spec lmp2 to race in 2022 and 2023 and to replace the poor and slow js p217? |

I agree on weird timing if it is a next gen P2, but not sure they would be allowed to offer an upgrade to the current car, and since nobody runs it not sure what the point would be? |

I suspect it might be some kind of track day only car, which might then be allowed to race somewhere given enough time.

In news that we all thought was already confirmed news, Acura will continue to use Wayne Taylor and Mike Shank teams to run their lmdh in IMSA and it will be constructed by Oreca.

Marshall has an update on the goings on in LMDh. Pretty funny comments from him on how some manufacturers just don't want to talk about it right now

What is the explanation for McLaren not using their own turbo V8? |

no clue, maybe power output potential? raceability? And this isn't confirmed on a contract I suppose. Maybe they want to go with a Le Man's winning engine?

I shrugged off the Ford idea when Zak Brown made a strong hint a while ago about working with a "historic partner" in LMDh. I immediately thought of CanAm McLaren Chevrolet, then McLaren F1 BMW (both not happening in LMDh) and then Ford, but it seems too far fetched. Apparently the P2 tub integration/packaging of that engine was a non-starter. |

well, the '90s nissan based ricardo reworked engines aren't exactly the most reliable engines of this world... they improved on that only very recently... is not that difficult to understand why mclaren could use old ford gt V6 that revealed to be powerful, efficient and quite reliable both in GT and DP trim. Not to mention that a compact V6 is easier to fit... basically the same reason why is complicated to predict which engine bmw is going to use since M4 gt3 L6 engine should be too long and M8 gte V8 was crazy huge and wide due the unusual turbos placement.
PS about mclaren, now I remember ricardo produced for mclaren a new V6 this year. |

Surprised we haven't seen a release of any shots of the new Porsche, assuming it's had its rollout already?

Now that will be something to look forward to, as if the Rolex 24 wasn't enough to look forward to as it is

We'll probably see some blurry spy shots of something black making laps around Weissach before then.

Will Kimi turn up in a Ferrari LMH? No, he will turn up as team principal of the works Kawasaki motocross team. Naturally.

I wonder if they would be happy staying in P2 or if they have GTP ambitions? Does this put any more weight behind a potential Bentley GTP?

Partial programme at the tail end of 2022 sort of suggests they're getting ready for 2023. Could the Bentley aero kit be ready so quickly?
