The 24 hours of Portimao I did not follow because there seemed to be unusually a lack of Mercedes AMGs in the field.
The 24 hours of COTA looks exciting though. I wish there was more USA based teams in the race. I guess there is more time for PWC or GTD teams to enter. Its neat that Risi has 2 cars entered for it though. They are probably the favorites along with the Herberth Porsche.
I like that Creventic takes overnight breaks in some of these events to assure more daylight racing. Good for TV viewing as well as for the competition. I never seen a 24 hour race take an overnight break. COTA will be first to do that. It will be interesting to see how that works out. If I could I'd take a trip to Austin, TX to see that race for sure.
