It will be a cleaner race than last year. GTD not being there is probably going to be a good thing. Granted seeing the BMW M6 lead overall was neat. That won't be possible this year due to the new restart procedure though. Prototypes will start up front every time now regardless.
I don't think it will be full course yellow free though. I think some prototype driver is going to slam the car in the wall like the #31 Cadillac did last year as both the GTLM and prototype races will be very intense. Lets hope for no lap 1 calamity. If you avoid that then it can sort out and be clean after that.
No prediction for a winner. Long Beach is anybody's game. Must say I hope both races can be won by somebody that did not win Daytona/Sebring.
