Well if they all show up we'll have a podium at least for Daytona, Muehlner is planning for 2 Duqueine LMP3s for Daytona at least. They had run the 2019 IPC LMP3s before returning to Europe this year.

The only thing I can come up with for Platinum in LMP2s is the guys just out of a factory ride or from Indy/Nascar to get in as well. There had to have been some asking about it for them to decide that but who asked. Other thought was teams trying to sell themselves as LMDh programs with a pro in the car to get the cheaper path to LM.
The points makes zero sense, even Nascar redid theirs to cut the number a couple years back I thought. Enough with quali points, make it a couple or something for pole if you must but 10% of a win? No way.
