Even worse than the debunked 9 hours after the rumor shuffles started happening, because the 1000 mile distance isn't even the old Petit Le Mans format of "1000 miles or 10 Hours" but rather strictly 8 hours which most likely will be met long before the distance thanks to cautions and whatever.
At least it isn't 6 hours and boring sanitized Grade 1 track - which already makes it better than anything else bar LM - but I'm tired of saying words like "at least"
Anyway this is kind of like repeat of 2010 Paul Ricard 8 Hours, and just like that probably one-off now
The only positive news comes from this bit:
Its paddock will run concurrently to the IMSA paddock, which remains in its current location, towards Turn 16, with a test day for WEC teams to be held in the run-up to the race weekend.
(as in I assume separate promoters test day rather than part of official practices)
