The throwback white really suits the Ford's, cleaner than the standard livery, shame it'll probably only be for Daytona.
Anywway, really looking forward to this season, looks like it's going to a good'un with the growth in DPi, will be keen to see how Mazda do with the BoP improvements and team/management changes made. They showed flashes of genuine pace last year so things could be promising fingers crossed.

I didn't even see the other drivers, but it's like a South American friggin' powerhouse.
Shame Rubens didn't hop in for the endurance drive.

Yes, in the past IMSA.TV covered qualifying LIVE, I would think that will continue.Has quali been shown on IMSA TV in the past? Would love to watch the cars out on track live. Dunno if I can wait another two weeks

I realize that and I have tried for today's coverage on IMSA.TV and the NBCSports app but there is no video coverage on either, just audio on IMSA.TV through IMSA radio. I'm listening to IMSA radio currently. As today's qualifying is for pit and garage locations it probably doesn't warrant more coverage.

Just had a brief look at Pruett’s prototype garage tour trying to get used to the look of the current-gen Daytona Protos (for me the first thing what comes up when mentioning them is that rather ugly first-gen design) and one thing stood out, or rather the lack of it: slicks. Are the DPis not on slicks?

So it looks as though Ford and Hyundai are still having DPi discussions. Also, an undisclosed medium-volume Japanese manufacturer is apparently in talks as well now. The article states it's not Lexus, as they have ruled out a 2020 program, so that begs the question of who could it possibly be.

Well the article did say that Lexus is still in talks, just not for 2020. Plus, we already have Nissan so I doubt Infiniti will be joining.

I thought SC365 was saying Ferrari walked out of the WEC meetings before most of the other motorsports publications shut that one down. I hope that reports of more manufacturers is true, but it makes me kind of skeptical of things they report for the foreseeable future after getting that story wrong.

Hell the Ford GT was only supposed to run through, what 2017 or 2018? The fact we're getting it another year is already decent. GTLM's future could be an entire new thread. The ACO etc. were asking the GTLM teams to consider "stepping up" to the Hypermark cars in the future, and as LMP1s become slower, as to LMP2s to match them, the GTLMs would also possibly need reducing, or replacement. I think we'll see a large change in GTLM rules at some point in the next few years.

Have GTLM start with GT3 cars, but allow more power and more aero? Seems the easiest route.

Just catching up on the Japanese manufacturer discussions:
- Honda/Acura is already in
- Nissan/Infinity also in
- Toyota/Lexus not in according to the article
- Mazda also in
That leaves Mitsubishi, Subaru and Suzuki. Out of these I just can't see Suzuki doing DPi. As far as I know - that's not exactly much, let's be honest - Mitsubishi isn't really a known quantity in road racing, at least for me they're more rally and rally raid-oriented (I want those 1992-1993 Pajero T1s in FM7). Of course, stuff can happen but I'd say Subaru would be more likely. Hopefully we will know more soon.
