Are there real logistical issues in staging a 1,500 mile race right after a 12 hour race by a different series? Yes.
Are there likely to be marketing issues? Yes — neither series can come across as the costar here.
Does it come as a particular surprise that an ACO Sebring 2019 race might not happen? No. At best, having both IMSA and the ACO at Sebring is a kind of crazy stop-gap solution and not something that is sustainable long-term. Most people get this — the only question is when the split comes and how much finger-pointing we will see.
