Chevy pulled out of Le Mans.

I'm sad that one of the events i'm looking forward to this year is weaker, but also I can't really blame them looking after their people.

I don't know what platform they are using but it seems to be run by the guys that make NASCAR Heat(?). I'm a bit unclear on what is going on.

Someone explain Super Gt to me.

Long distance races? It's own spec of card plus GT3s. And all the Japanese Manufacturers take it super seriously. Is that right?

Porsche pulled out of GTLM in WTSC from next year.

Bummer.

Edit: it would seem insane not to run a factory supported team at Daytona but what do I know.

pretty sure all LMDh (the IMSA formula that the ACO/WEC are also going to let in) are going to use a standardized hybrid unit and will be faster than the P2s.

Presumably the Hybrid engine will be faster than the stock LMP2 V8.

If it works, low cost LMP2 with manufacturer prestige, it'll be awesome. If not we still have GtePro.

have you heard about the Nurburgring 24 Hours? It's the series of shorter races throughout the year that are also hosted on the Nordschleife.

Radio Le Mans has the video streaming along with English commentary for the race, which is in about 4 hours from this post (countdown timer on the website).

Update race coverage to start in about 10 minutes from this post.

The problem with LMDh is they probably won't all break down like the LMP1s used to.

Its also part of the business but I never understood why track revitalization was never a thing. Isn't f1 a better series if you spend the money to make say, Imola fit for F1 instead of holding a race in some petro-state?

And yeah that means spending f1 money on someone else's asset but c'mon.

Gte I get with at most 8 factory entries in the entire world, but gt3 is popular everywhere?

I *think* the modern circuit cut those bits out.

Les Combs to Stavelot is "circuit" the rest being former public roads that you used to be able to drive on until like 2003 where they just turned it into a "permanent" circuit and stopped all traffic on.

Plus 1 to ELMS being dope. Also streaming free on YouTube with RLM commentary is great.

For WEC do I need to buy their video package, mute it and stream RLM over the top still?

The commentary team screaming "WOAAAAAHHHHHHHH" in unison when the LMP2 cars were battling through Eau Rouge was fun as hell.
