Weird that the ACO would call a press conference to say IMSA are smelly Americans and they'd never dream of letting their Yankee prototypes into Le Mans.

i didn't realize this until they were talking about it during the broadcast but the pro stock champ from 2 years ago is in arca now. That's a pretty good sign the pro category is dead with nitro probably not too far behind

If I was Toyota, I would can the Hypercar now, run the current P1 until September 2021 and then go LMDh. But Toyota makes weird choices. Gonna be their call as to whether we ever see a Hypercar or not.

isn't the toyota hypercar just a modified version of their lmp1?

From excitement about LMDh to extreme worry about the immediate future of the WEC in like three weeks, the sports car cycle can be an absolutely unstoppable mistress sometimes.

the WEC is gonna be fine it's just that prototypes are dying.

I care about the WEC because seeing the FIA twist itself into pretzels over how much it hates/needs IMSA is very entertaining

If Kyalami could bump up their FIA grade to 1, it'd be pretty rad for F1.

Also honestly if we could get a track on the F1 calendar with no changes, I'd love to see Sebring. It would be such a unique challenge for the F1 cars compared to any other circuit, and P1s have already ran there no problem. Mostly I wanna see Ferrari's suspension implode over the bumps in T17

sebring would shake f1 cars to pieces though I agree it would rule

edit: the worst goddamn thing about Sebring is NASCAR owns it but doesn't run there
