It sounds like they are getting that in race experience by bringing on a team to run the actual operations rather than in house

Tique should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I wonder who are those 4 teams interested by the IF project (GB, DE, IT & CH)?

Narrowed down to 2 according to DSC's article. We might hear more by the WEC entry deadline early next year.

These guys are going to do WEC instead of F1, yes? Would love to see a Honda on the grid.

I know that Andretti have been trying to get a factory sportscar program for a few years, but i did not see a WTR tie-in in the cards! Could be a WEC Honda program for sure. Or isn't Honda coming back to F1 in a few years?

So I thought when Alpine bought some old Rebellions that the end goal was they were making a Hypercar. But now the Rebellion is going away but there's no Alpine Hypercar?

Are they building a hypercar or an lmdh? Could be supply chain lead times that have pushed the project to 24. Or maybe they didn't start right away with the planning?

Looking dangerously close to a real project this one haha. You love to see it. Hopefully they'll pop up on that entry list and no last minute snags.

So this was what Graham teased on TWISC, good work here from all sides. I'll be honest; Vector was quite far down the list of teams in my mind for this partnership, but more power to them and Isotta Fraschini. I still think 2024 would be more realistic,

So that's AF Corse, CGR, Joest, JOTA, Iron Lynx, Penske, Proton, Signatech, WRT, WTR & Vector all with factory deals for LMH/GTP. It feels like we'll run out of teams for the manufacturers to partner up with soon!

Meanwhile, at United Autosports...

It was mentioned before that the potential team partners came with some financial backing of their own. Did Ryan Cullen provide a chunk of Vector's funding this year?

Yes and Oreca have been busy enough with their 2023 cars which probably helps explain the 24 timeline for Alpine.

Have any other manufacturers committed to releasing customer cars? I guess Cadillac already have with AXR. Lamborghini's GT model has been customer focused.
Will that continue in Hypercar/GTP? Glickenhaus will sell you a car, for sure.
Having 6 Porsches running in every race significantly improves the chances of a Porsche winning...

Not Acura, it seems.

Good to see Porsche reiterate that stance. It was mentioned quite a few months ago but glad to see they'll hopefully stick with it. It will force other manufacturers to make more cars available.

Fairly sure I read back along that Ferrari are planning on making cars available at some point. I suspect the 23 cars might be available for customers in'24 with the factory squad running brand new ones?

Yeah, you have to assume those cars are already sold to chosen collectors with more to come.
