I'm a dork for these things. Here is the comparison of the pole times for Spa this year.
LMP3 pole 2:12.6
GTE pro pole 2:14.2
IMSA GTLM has historically had a more open BoP than WEC GTE Pro, so whenever they ran together on weekends at Sebring or COTA in the past, GTLM was a 1 or 2 seconds quicker than GTE Pro.
That puts LMP3 and IMSA GTLM right on equal terms. I think its ok if it remains that way. In fact if IMSA require Am's to qualify for grid position which I think they will, then they would and should start behind the GTLM cars at the start of races. And LMP3 cars will for sure pit first too. A GTE/GTLM full fuel stint is 60 minutes. LMP3 is 40 I think? So I say that P3 should slot in BEHIND GTLM.
