Decided to take meeting minutes from the Ask Atherton podcast on RadioLeMans.com:
-Ruled out having 4 class color codes. Will stick to red for pro and green for pro am. Justification is that it is easy to tell apart a prototype and GT car by their looks so the color just needs to separate the 2 classes within each spec of car.
- IMSA will never share weekend with IndyCar at Watkins Glen
-Atherton wants series to go back to Portland
-Nervous that IndyCar and IMSA races in 2019 are scheduled close to each other. But making sure that they don’t take away resources from promoting IMSA race
-Would love Road America race to be longer but admits he can’t due to full season costs/hours racing
-Atherton thinks that an LMP2 could potentially still compete with DPI cars overall potentially at a race like Daytona
-No new DPI manufacturers are imminent (at least says publicly)
-Silver driver status is performance/data driven not who writes the checks
