32 cars in Conti. That must be a mistake. There were 34 cars last year and we all know the reason why (nobody knows how to build GS racecars anymore). So with the explosive growth of GT4, the Conti field has to be at least 50 for the whole field.
If the 32 is true, I know IMSA will be smart enough to just make all cautions a short one because spending 20 minutes farting around doing split pit stops, wavebys and whatever else, makes no sense any more (God forbid it rains then we might as well extend it to 45 minutes). There are around 40-45 pit stalls at Road America (that doesn't count the 1/4 mile of the old pits). Even if the whole field came in along with the pace car and every safety vehicle at the facility, you'd still have room for the Elkhart Lake Police cruisers and an ice cream truck out on pit road.
