I think I'd just prefer some good old fashioned Radio Le Mans and DSC/Sam Collins backup.

Hope you're right about the P1 battle though. Mexico was a bit depressing in P1, so hopefully from here onward it improves. Totally understand about P2 as well - I thought it was a brilliant race, but it was certainly not a varied race. We've see in ELMS that the Dallara and Ligier in high downforce are as good as the Oreca, so hopefully we'll see a couple move over.
Mexico's track length is short so there's not much hybrid power available to use according to the rules. It's also the highest in altitude so you know Porsche's higher downforce would be good. I thought Toyota would win because they had a higher top speed and the pace looked close in practice. But looks like Porsche is able to do more at these types of tracks. COTA isn't high altitude and there's more hybrid energy available per lap, so I think they'll be closer there. Last year they were so I'm looking forward to a better race up front.
