Porsche have had plenty of interest for customer LMDHs.

Reading that article made me think of the debut of the Spyder. They ran some factory cars with Penske in ALMS but had customer cars with Dyson at the same time. Sounds like they are thinking along similar lines with the lmdh.

Though they still haven't actually officially signed up to the new 2022 WRC regs, yet.

Do you want proper competition against lots of manufacturers, in the WEC or the easier option against 1 or maybe 2 in the WRC?

OK

This season is their fifth in WRC, so 2022/2023 is maybe a good moment to move to something else. Let's hope they do.

BMW must be one of the 7 marques Marshall was referencing then. That would be awesome.

I'd be keen for RLL to get that deal too as Bobby had never hid his desire to go to Le Mans.

Its a shame Schnitzer has folded, I guess they would have been the obvious choice a few years back.

***LMDh talks are set to continue this weekend between new and prospective manufacturers and teams looking to join the growing platform for 2023 and beyond.

***Sportscar365 understands that Porsche is set to hold discussions with potential teams to operate its factory U.S.-based LMDh program this weekend, including talks with at least one existing championship-winning IMSA operation.

***ORECA’s customer racing service manager Anthony Megevand told Sportscar365 that the French constructor has received additional interest from manufacturers in recent months, with talks accelerating with more OEMs and at an increased level.

***Megevand predicts there could be more than six manufacturers committing to the platform across the four licensed constructors. So far Acura, Audi and Porsche have all announced plans, with the German manufacturers widely believed to be aligning with Multimatic.

I was wondering if Core would be in line for a car as well. They were the most recent Porsche factory team in the US and still seem to have an eye on prototypes.

'Michael Andretti has been spotted in the paddock this weekend. The Andretti Autosport co-owner is known to be one of many teams pursuing LMDh programs for 2023 and beyond. Former Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan is also making the rounds.'

A Hyundai hydrogen racer makes perfect sense. The wider group are aiming to have hydrogen fuel cells in all sorts of things going forward.

Ferrari will have their pick of drivers won't they.

He'd be great for the sport if he was competing in a full-time capacity. His ultimate pace would be interesting.

Seems keen to be involved in a development role rather than just turning up to drive, which suggests full time?
He might also be interested in an IMSA drive since he lives in LA.

It would be nuts if someone like a Ford couldn't get a programme off the ground because the limited number of chassis suppliers are too stacked out.

We haven't heard of any confirmed interest in Ligier.

Also, 4 brands from VW group is nuts to think about too!

It would be ironic if ford and GM ended up with the same chassis. Some heads would be spinning over here for sure.
