Highlights:
+ Balance of classes.
GTE-PRO doesn't need many cars to make a fine race (just look at 2011 LM racing around the world), but 1 more Porsche (IMSA) would have been nice instead of one of the P2s or GTE-AM
Petrol in P1 will be awesome. A great mixture of teams and drivers in P2 and GTE-AM should make for an eventful and interesting fight (at least 5 favourites in each, if not many more)
+ Pescarolo taking the crazy route as always, with a Dome and another resurrection of the AMR-One chassis.
+ Dawn of the Hybrids - hope Toyota is up for it
+ Finally see some investment (Dyson) from the ALMS in P1 since Panoz/Cadillac/Champion.
+ Possibility of having a few good Portuguese out there (Filipe Albuquerque in the 'DTM' Audi anybody? Barbosa in the Level 5 after his good run at Daytona 24 and with his poor wife
. Fan-favourite from ASM, Olivier Plá. Rui Águas in GTE-AM but handicapped by some of his more gentlemanly teammates, etc.)
- Audi overload up front but the price to pay for realizing they are really committed despite Peugeot's withdrawal
- Too many Ferraris in GTE-PRO.
- IMSA deserved a spot in a PRO Porsche
- Even the 2nd Aston. Amazing how they turn down a Factory effort, but the Vantage is an unknown quantity, just like the AMR-One turned out to be, so, in reality, Prodrive and AMR don't really deserve ACO and FIA taking another risk with so many interested teams.
