The Mantella stuff was announced back in October http://mantellaautosport.com/2016/10...t-laguna-seca/

Looks like KohR Motorsports just took delivery of a Mustang GT4. No indication on the post as to where it will be raced, but PWC would make sense.

Notice it says 'car #1 arrived' potentially suggesting multiple cars

Would love to see a pair of mustangs in GTS this year

I'd have to listen to it again, but I believe Dean said something about 4 cars during a SportsCar Unleashed podcast

Correction, 5 cars for the US. 2-3 in IMSA. Obviously set backs can and usually do happen, but they are also looking at have 15-20 cars total for the rest of the world to buy. (per Dean Martin on SCUnleashed #92)

Wow indeed. Extremely happy for Bryan and Mike! A huge boost for the series. Bryan has 2 paid drives now in a time where others have a hard time finding 1. For Mike this has to be one of the best rides he has ever had.

Mechanic Z · 23 Jan 2017, 20:48 (Ref:3704568)

That's an incredible lineup! Parente and Sellers in GT and Mike in GTA is just about as good as it gets!

From nasportscar: 'Two new drivers to the lineup include GT driver Bryan Sellers, who will also drive for Paul Miller Racing in IMSA, and Mike Hedlund in GTA.'

From S365: 'Parente and Sellers will compete in the GT class, with Hedlund in GTA.'

Alright Alright so I missed it. Mr. Hedlund raced in GT Pro before.

So they're supposed to take a full 18-wheeler setup just to do a shakedown run across the street?

Was it a shakedown? That just looks like they finished the body panels and we're taking it to the paint shop.

That's what I was thinking. Doesn't look like anything that really need the service of a fancy hauler is going on yet.

schmidder · 28 Jan 2017, 17:44 (Ref:3705816)

Just surprised by the trailer..

From the GP of St. Pete's website, sounds like Cadillac will be back:

Quote:

“Cadillac returning to the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, not only as competitors but also as partners, is gratifying,” said Matt Russell, Cadillac Racing Marketing Manager. “The overwhelming response of the fans inspires confidence in our teams and drivers, while seeing customer-owned V-Performance products on the streets and in the parking areas bolsters the strength of our brand and dealers.”

Also, RFerri's site now has a 2017 PWC schedule and countdown to St. Pete on it: http://www.rferrimotorsport.com/

Lastly, on DXDT's Facebook page, they mention that David Askew and Jeff Burton will be their Mercedes drivers (In the comments under the post.).
