Car has only been racing half a year, and it's one an IMSA race. Hardly crap, or a long time.

Good news for the GTE market that one.

The typical thing of Porsche - once a higher tier class gets abandoned, suddenly the GT racing programme is worth more. Now if they only manage to get some competitive customers in GT3 racing again ...

Not wrong for sure. Porsche perhaps to blame for intentionally limiting the supply knowing certain customers (Proton) will pay top dollar. If the number of chassis available was larger it could drive down the price per car. So yeah a little bit of manipulating going on here. Its too bad, maybe someone like Flying Lizard could have considered it otherwise. Cause the 911 RSR is an awesome car. I wonder if the same thing will happen with Ford. It seems like the only ones who are not trying to greatly limit their supply in GTE is Ferrari and Aston Martin. If I am Joe Millionaire and I want to race a GTE somewhere. Those might be my only two options.

Actually if I was Joe Millioniare and I wanted to go sportscar racing I'd probably want to run a GT3 Mercedes as my first choice. Maybe an Acura would be my second choice. Then you can run that thing pretty much anywhere accept Le Mans but that's ok.

Sure. I was asked to move it, so I did. If the preference is for it to be in the main 'open' forum, I can do that too. What I can't do is put it in both ACO Regulated and NA at the same time.....

You don't think Joe Millionaire would want to run at Le Mans......?

I was just under the impression that this is a cross pond subject, not a singular point of interest.

If there’s no show for them to activate behind and therefore sell cars, then the marketing budgets become tighter and you get less manufacturers. So you want to maximize it so the future is secure.

The qualifying race was one way to do that; whether the qualifying race itself was a perfect or great idea, I’m sure there’s other ideas or ways of doing that.

I wonder if manufacturers will ask the ACO to add GTE-Pro to the European Le Mans Series.

If the M8 GTE goes fast natively, all will be done with the BoP to slow it down.
