As for McLaren talked to Kevin Madsen that ran the Indy 8 hour and the 24 hours of spa he was there as a driver coach up on spectator hill for Brendan Iribe in the 70 and and they aren't crazy about silvers being AMs after running in SRO and this was prior to the big GT wreck that took them out but said Brendan was was aiming to run the endurance cup next year maybe minus watkins glenn

According to Endurance-Info Dane Cameron has quit Honda/Acura.
Not a great surprise I think, but I had not seen it announced before. https://www.endurance-info.com/auto/...ron-hondaacura |

Couple bits from S365 this week
Grosjean appears likely to be in the WTR Acura for the Rolex according to EI via S365 reporting on the reporting. Could be interesting, his sportscar days were in GT1s. United looking to return to IMSA for enduro program with an LMP2 car. |

G-Drive with 2 cars for Daytona:
https://www.dailysportscar.com/2021/...urs-debut.html No word on drivers yet, but that is a big boost for the P2 class. I have lost track of all the announcements, but I know United will have a car and possibly a couple other European teams coming over. |

Grid count for GTD (I consider it 1 class still), LMP2, LMP3 look strong for the 2022 Florida swing. P2 and P3 could both be above 10 cars for the enduros. For goodness sake even G Drive is coming in now. I bet GTD overall will be easily in the 20's for the enduros. DPI count is probably the same as 2021, just subtract Mazda and add 2nd Ganassi Cadillac.
For me there is no point to discuss full season entries until the post Sebring/pre Long Beach time period. |

Great! I like that team, and you aren't going to miss that car on the grid! Murry is a good driver to add for them, young, but has experience in IMSA.

This Week in Sportscar podcast gave a very strong hint as to what manufacturer PMR is going to for 2022. Pruett took a shot at Magnus racing too. That squad better use that as motivation going forward. Give them a listen.

MP seems to have his favorites and Magnus is not one of them. Potter pays and stays involved so frankly MP can go screw with those who come in and out or make huge promises and never show up.
Lose one McLaren GT4 and gain one LMP3, AWA moving to WeatherTech LMP3 and Prototype Challenge with 1 car each, D-08s. https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/p...-lmp3-program/ |

The announcements keep coming, Dragonspeed full time P2 with Hedman and Montoya. Joined by teenage Montoya for Sebring.
This pairing won't contest Daytona as it isn't a part of the P2 championship, but Dragonspeed will have a car there: https://www.dailysportscar.com/2021/...n-montoya.html |
