I agree. Now that DPi are real prototypes and not the tube framed DP Grand Am era cars I agree! Do I miss the ALMS? Yes. But the reality is DPi has depth and diversity (look at the heavy hitter teams just like ALMS 2006-07) and I would argue it is better than WEC P2. Plus the Euro teams are starting to come over again for the big races. I am happy to be proven wrong about the "merger" of Grand Am and the ALMS. The united series was terrible for a couple of years but is now really finding its' stride. Racing is a huge part of my life so I am so happy to see a healthy IMSA once again. I will be attending Daytona, my first IMSA race since 2014 when I attended 3 and did not enjoy the rules, officiating, BoP, terrible announcers, lucky dog wave-bys DP cars, etc. I left all of them angry.
