When IMSA's prototype field goes south in 2016 and 2017, Riley will get FCA to nut up and provide backing, and the GTLM Vipers will return to Le Mans in 2016 and then to IMSA starting with the Six Hours of the Glen. After the probably-pathetic 2017 prototype fields gets reviled by the fans and ignored by the teams owners and marketers, the prototype era in IMSA will close out with a whimper, followed by the vast battle in 2018 between Corvette, Viper and GT40, as well as everyone else in IMSA GTLM....

Prototypes, in TUSC, are not going away. The DP is proof enough of that!
