19 cars entry list is not bad but not impressive too.

Tell me one race where a ADESS impressed us with its strong pace!? Can't find one. There are cars that were simply not build for racing.

ADESS representatives were at Sebring with Atlantic. There could have been upsides in having something else than the stock French option at some of the tracks.

It's not a 'good' chassis but at least ADESS is somewhat still trying to make the grids ocassionally, unlike Dome which never materialized, Riley which was complete disaster and Ginetta who got so bored of their product that they seemed to erase it from their own press releases. Anyway, it's not like they could modify the chassis to fix the issues in this frozen spec category. These smaller boutique makes have nowhere else to go now that LMP2 has been corrupted to full spec series and LMP1 is making way towards LMGTP's ill fated vision.

Last year there were 25 cars in total on the entry list: 13 LMP3 + 12 MPC (former IMSA Lites). The number of P3 has grown to 19 this year but no MPC. And because the Daytona Roar race is one of two enduros (4 hours), a few teams have scaled back to only one car instead of two for the regular races. I think we can expect 20+ for Sebring and onwards. That's very decent, especially since the P3 is more expensive to run than the former Lites cars.

Entries up from Daytona but no ADESS again, 7x Norma + 18x Onroak

Ginetta and Adess are working on 2020 LMP3s?

I like the new Ginetta, sadly doubt I'll ever see one in IMSA PC. Mostly Ligier but a couple Norma and the Adess have run.

The new Norma will not be called Norma, but Duqueine D08.

Ginetta looks good.

All of the new cars look good. I look forward to seeing them on track next season. Is it just me or does the Adess look a bit basic compared to the others?

Wasn't that the design brief? Looked like a Lego car last year

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jun 2019, 06:52 (Ref:3910287)

I saw all of them up close yesterday. They really do look good.

Will all of them will be fast at the track?

Oh I thought all series would get the 'new' cars immediately, but apparently not

These prototypes will compete in the European Le Mans Series, Michelin Le Mans Cup and Asian Ultimate Cup beginning next year. The Asian Le Mans Series (2020-2021 season), IMSA Prototype Challenge (2021) and Australian LMP3 Cup (2022) will then switch out the current cars for the new models.

Because they introduced the new cars before the previous cars were set to expire by the contracts signed with the teams. IMSA was not sure to introduce the new generation until the 2021, with possibility of 2022, season and they stuck with their deal. Just cause the ACO thinks everyone has unlimited cash doesn't mean they do and honestly they need to dial this bs back to a sustainable level or there will be no feeder series and then no sportscars with decent drivers left.

Duqueine D08 has been testing in the hands of Romain Dumas.

That's who's run it the last few years,I don't think they've managed to move one yet. Although it did run well a couple times last year, I think with Tony Ave driving it a few times.

Well we all know how much LMP3 moves the needle in terms of excitement and anticipation...sarcasm

There is a new Radical season starting in the US. I had never heard of this series but the one part that caught my eye is that Jon Field races in it!! For those of you who remember his exploits with Intersport Racing you know he is fast and fearless, or at least he was before the jailtime.....

Wonder what kind of scam/embezzlement is going on with Bricker Home Design to get Jon involved.
