GTE / GTLM 2018, on the way to a new GT1 era

[MaskedRacer]

The Shank Acura team is very good. I think HPD should give them a shot to race as a full factory squad still. GTLM would be the place though. With BMW moving to GTE compliance. There is space for someone to get that special waiver that BMW has had the last couple of years. Maybe it could be the Acura NSX.

What would it take to get that car to run a couple seconds a lap faster to get into GTLM speed range? Michelin tires, and some aero like rear wing enhancements and a diffuser would instantly move that car ahead of the GTD's comfortably and into the GTLM range. The speed gap between GTLM and GTD is as small as it has been since the ALMS/GA merger. So it could be done I think.
