Maybe they'll call it the WEC Florida 12 hours at Sebring. That's different enough to The 12 Hours of Sebring

No it's not. They should run The WEC Sebring 11.5 hour enduro.

Or a Friday 6 hour

Aaaand BAR1 is now considering the leap, although I am sure it was bound to happen seeing that all PC teams have, or at least are considering the jump up to DPi.

This is just incredible!

The jump up to the 'P' class, you mean?

How would that affect the use of "le mans" in petit or mans? Probably not good to burn bridges with the organization that holds le mans, considering imsa still wants that connection. Never has seemed to be a concern from the aco, though.

Actually, a title like "Atlanta 1000" or "Ten Hours of Georgia" might feel more familiar and comfortable to a larger proportion of the locals. Also, it's not like the ACO can stop the seasoned spectators and Sportscar enthusiasts from continuing to call it "Petit Le Mans" by word-of-mouth.

The seasoned spectators and Sportscar enthusiasts don't even call it Petit Le Mans.

It's always just "Petit."

With IMSA's yellow flag policy, which one would really be the 11.5 hours?

I'm still waiting for Starworts to 'confirm' their interest and 95% likeliness of them stepping up/returning to the Prototype class... (I feel BAR1 and the Dawson "freakshow" are in the same category.)

However, Performance Tech plans sound credible, I can see them appearing on the Rolex grid which could make for almost 15* fulltime protos in the series!

Beast is the right word. Hope it sounds as mean as it looks. Also hope it doesn't change massively before it races.

Did they for sure get the nod to continue next year for BMW? Hopefully so.

Overall I like it, but there's no getting around the size of that thing. Also, is #Mission8 a little weirdly too close to Porsche's Mission: Future Sportscar tagline? (probably just me i know)

Yuck.

I dunno, maybe a change in livery would help. The red inside what used to be the kidney grills is particularly awful and really makes the "face" of it look terrible.
