Maro Engel to join SVG and Craig Baird aboard the STM AMG. (Which will also be getting factory support for the race)
That Merc has just become the car to beat.

It's a long race, and there's a lot of traffic. Anything can happen.

Look at you.It's a long race, and there's a lot of traffic. Anything can happen.
4 GT-Rs is nothing to sneeze at. Those Audis are trying to make a mess of things. The Bentleys will try to make themselves as wide as possible. I'd like to see the M6s get some speed on these shores. I'm still iffy on the 911. McLaren will show Ferrari how it's done. The surprise might be Canto in the Huracan...which leads me to this...
Schneider & Engel blitzed the field. Things may have changed with grid size and more GT3s with Pro drivers, but holy smokes! STM can start & finish with any driver on the team.Insane lineup. It's almost unfair.

I would've expected them to pull the DPi program before thinking of pulling support for the GT3 cars in PWC.Nissan pinching pennies.

The DPi program is every manufacturer's wet dream though if what we've heard is true. They will be fighting for overall victories as a "factory" team even though they are doing little more than providing engines.

I only work on behalf of an employment agency for a supply company to Nissan located next door to it's UK factory so I cannot speak for the company, but I am a big fan of it's motor-sport involvement's (although owning a Mazda I actually follow SpeedSource) and I just think a factory will take any opportunity to get major success. I think being credited with being the engine supplier to the champions is every bit as valued as being the team to win the title. Why else would they supply to so many LMP2 teams in the WEC?
It is sad that the EGT will be in effect only a one make series. Any chance the BMW i8 could be used? Or the 918 Spyder?

On first glance, I thought these were Audi R8s. But great livery though. The green ruins it slightly sadly.

It's like a tribute to the original R8 GT3, and I mean that in a good way.

I love the look of the new NSX GT3, but I'm not sure about any of these liveries so far....
I think both Shank and Realtime missed a trick by not using Dayglow Red on their liveries, even just as accents. To me, nothing says Honda Racing more than Dayglow Red. I mean, Realtime's Acura TSX cars the last several years have been beautiful (to me at least)....hopefully that shot is just a test livery or something.

Maybe, a 2019 Bathurst effort or privateer in the GT series but I wouldn't expect an NSX on our shores for a while. I think it'll take as long as it took for the GTR to race here and it's only next year that'll it will be doing its first full season...

In short, no. The car is built by Honda Peformance Development in the USA, for the exclusive purpose of racing in North America. While it's possible we may see customer entries later down the line in Blancpain and Super GT, don't be surprised if they go the Cadillac route and keep the car all to themselves.
