Sweet about Mid-Ohio. Shame for COTA, but I'm not a fan of the circuit. Wish they'd do the shared weekend with IndyCar.

Kinda like waiting to PLM for announcement of schedule but I'm usually preoccupied with other things then.

That's a pretty awesome schedule then.

COTA out? I can see trouble in the future for that circuit now. I can't see WEC sticking there that much longer.

WEC is probable to abandon after this race, still a year to year agreement. Ecstatic to see Mid Ohio return... even happier it's at the expense of COTA. That track blows.

It'll be closed sooner than later.

COTA's sportscar future is going to be the Creventic 24 hour race. Which I feel could be a success actually.

Last year they had the 2017 sked announcement at Road America if I remember.

My biggest hope is more all GT races on the calendar.

Indycar is doing the double header with PWC now...

Also if IMSA wants all 3 classes and CTSCC as the supports then might get a bit too packed with Indycar?

I'm thinking there might have to be a Mid-Ohio trip next season for me. Heard it's a great track and get the time off now to hit more tracks.

It's the same weekend as the Southern Nationals are likely to be

And the weekend or two after the Mitty...may be a hard hall pass for me, but it's certainly a thought. Would certainly mean no Sebring...

I realize that...

ALMS and IndyCar did this before (2010). And they used to run the SCCA runoffs there. I think there's space, unless you are speaking of schedules, then I'd say there's still plenty of space there, too.

I do like both being the main event, especially for locals. That's two big weekends for them and they deserve it. Out of town fans of both series, like me would LOVE to double up on one trip.

COTA will lose WEC I bet too. But this track will still have the Creventac 24 hour race which seriously looks like will be a successful race. I am looking forward to it. I wish I could attend it in person too. They are actually going to take a break during the overnight hours which is a neat deal as it will also allow spectators (for free too) to see more racing.

Whenever I see the Daytona 24 in person I swear I tell myself that I am going to make it through the whole race and watch. I crash by 2 am every time.

Also great idea to move Long Beach back to DPI/GTLM only. It will help save GTD teams some $$.

Happy also to see the all GT races preserved.

Last year the WEC/IMSA race was not promoted at all from what I saw, and I'm afraid it is the same this year. In 2015 I saw promotions around the North Houston area, where I live, and of course in and around Austin. I personally did not think the attendance was as bad as what everyone was posting about here that year.

I think there is a potential to get a 20 car grid for the prototype class alone at the 2018 Daytona 24. Additions coming from Penske, Joest Mazda, JDC 2, Perf Tech, BAR1, United, DragonSpeed, Rebellion. Not to mention other Euro LMP2 teams.

GTLM could get 12-15 cars depending on if Ford goes with 4 cars again, if Porsche expands their fleet, and also who knows if AF Corse and Aston Martin decides to show up in GTLM or GTD (or both). In 2016, AF and AMR entered in GTD only. Plus you got lots of the GT3/GTD entrants.

I think IMSA will be pushing a grid size similar to the 2014 race which at 67 cars I think, but with a much higher quality from top to bottom this time.

Glad to see Mid Ohio back, and just in time! I just moved to the Pittsburgh area and Mid Ohio is the closest major road race facility to me (under 3 hours). I previously lived in CT & Boston and went to numerous races at Lime Rock, last one being in 2013. I attended my first Indycar race, and first race at Mid Ohio 2 weeks ago and I was pretty impressed. Nice elevation changes and a great layout. Only downside is the catch fencing but there are some sections without it with pretty good visibility. Can't wait to see IMSA in the flesh!

It probably would require an existing race to fall off the IMSA schedule and a strong promoter in Mexico City to push a race there. The wildcard is the uncertainty surrounding the WEC and whether a race in Mexico City makes financial sense without LMP-1H cars to headline the show (presuming that Toyota goes to running part-time.)

ALMS tried for Mexico City in 2003 but the race got cancelled before it happened. Ironically, I think it was intended to replace Mid Ohio before RFK and Mexico City got cancelled.
