Then of course, anyone would have been able to run the Mercedes (once modified for GTD).

Hopefully they do away with all that jackassery for next year.
Not so sure about that...

Would be a shame not to see the Aston, Mercedes, McLaren or possibly a Lexus. You would think a non-IMSA GT3 endurance pilot race somewhere in the US would gather some more momentum when IMSA decides to apply the suggested manufacturers limitation.
