S365 has a a very interesting interview with Scott Atherton on the decision to switch to Michelin in 2019.
Quote:
Atherton admitted its deal with Michelin doesn’t exclude IMSA from opening up other classes to tire competition in the future, although it’s not in the plan for the short-term.
“It’s not something we are prepared to embrace now,” he said. “But I would say the potential for it to evolve is there [in the current contract].
“There’s nothing that would prevent it but right now that’s not the vision.”
Should it happen, Atherton said he would see the Prototype class, which could see a convergence with new-generation ACO LMP1 regulations in 2020, being the most likely possibility.
