I would think driving for basically a factory Honda team for Roger Penske would be a better gig than driving for privateer teams in LMP2. Maybe the Russian/Chinese oligarchs funding those privateer teams pay really well, who knows?

an oddly awful oud posted:It's really shocking how fast LMP1 fell apart. Just two years ago it was the arguably the pinnacle of motorsports development and seemed like it was thriving and ushering in a new age of high-performance hybrid sports cars. Wonder what would've happened without Dieselgate. Seems like Audi might've been off to F1 anyhow, but Dieselgate made it a pretty easy decision for Audi and now possibly Porsche to pull out of LMP1 and save a large amount of money for VAG.

COTA is one of the better modern F1 tracks, but it kinda sucks for any racing besides F1 (maybe MotoGP is also good on it?).
