I'd like to see one of the Mazdas go with a throwback paint color from the first gen Miatas, like "Mariner Blue" or "Sunburst Yellow."

Roar timing is up:

Rebellion Oreca fastest so far, Nissan's seem pretty on pace considering the limited time that car has been together. Mazda's have done leak checks but no fliers yet.

A PC car has taken the dubious honor of being the first to crash in an official IMSA session this year. Spun and went off at the bus stop, hit the wall, significant damage to aero, suspension and gearbox.

Mazda finally got up to speed and into the mix. Field seems pretty tight, but the Oreca's might be a step above. IMSA is making the teams run those full anti-sandbagging kits, so theoretically there should be less of that going on this year.

I've long thought the time was right for Group B type rules for kei cars. There's enough already weird cars in that segment to suggest that manufacturers might be willing to go for a huge arm race based off a 660cc tiny car class.
