Autoweek quotes:
"The track looked like Woodstock on wheels." (Road Atlanta for last weekend's Petit Le Mans)
"It’s not just hype from talking heads on TV. IMSA’s new Grand Touring Prototype hybrids have resonated with fans."
"The GTP cars that came out of the LMDh regulations are some of the most sophisticated in the world..."
Indeed, they are!!

Insane list of cars and though the Hyper GTP cars look good it sure seems the BOP is not beneficial for the 992 -- all are running slow and towards the back of their respective groups. Let's hope we see some adjustments prior to the 24!

Are the powers-that-be wanting to give secret special dispensations (nod wink favoritism) to the new GT3 Mustangs and Corvettes??? BOP politics and twiddling is usually highly suspect.
