Sounds like this is something they are considering.

Chip Gnassi expanding to two Cadillac DPi for 2022. 👍

It will be interesting to see who the drivers are.

With Ganassi seemingly being the GM factory team it will be interesting to see where Action Express and JDC slot in. I just hope JDC finds a way to stay in the top class since Minnesota based race teams at the top level aren't exactly commonplace.

Apparently there is a rumor going around that Hendrick may buy AXR. I wasn't even aware of it until AXR denied it so I kind of wonder if there actually is something to it.

Not gonna lie, I kind of want to see it happen and Andretti also get a LMDh deal just so we can finally get a showdown between the top 4 teams in American racing.
Action Express dismisses sale rumors
The championship-winning Action Express Racing team expects to continue on its current prototype trajectory for years to come in IMSA’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. According to longstanding…

Same. That rumor never came my way either. Though, I’d like to see Hendrick expand outside NASCAR again as well. Wouldn’t be the first time they ran a prototype in IMSA.Apparently there is a rumor going around that Hendrick may buy AXR.

AER does seem to be very dependent on big sponsorship to survive though, more so than manufacturer involvement or a big backed ownership. So maybe Whelen could be leaving?

Lamborghini is apparently close to confirming an LMDh program. It would be another rebadge of the VAG car but if it means another manufacturer team on the grid I can live with it.

I think they came close to leaving a couple years ago, so it wouldn't surprise me. I hope they don't though as that scheme is up there in my favorites list.

IMSA coverage moves to USA network & Peacock for 2022.
https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/imsa-tv-coverage-to-shift-to-usa-network-peacock-in-2022/
With the demise of NBCSN this fall IMSA is moving to USA next year when not on the main NBC network. It sounds like they're still kind of sketchy as to how Peacock is going to play into this.

Doesn't this mean this'll be the first time in over 20 years since BMW was in prototype racing? As far as I'm aware, their last prototype was the V12 LMR.RLL will be running the BMW LMDh program (in IMSA at least, still no word on a WEC program), which will be based on the Dallara chassis.

Seems the class has a decent chance of getting to double digits for full season entries, plus I'm sure a few more will enter for at least the Florida portion of the NAEC. Hopefully it doesn't cannibalize the Pro-Am class too much though.

This article says both C8.R's will run in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. So they're going to have two C8.R GTE cars at Le Mans only for that race, one running the regular season in WEC and just one for the entire season in IMSA?
