I think the Riley was on the Daytona podium on debut wasn't it?

Well as expected Shank found the funding for the second car with Heinricher. It appears she's not driving again this year so guessing she has the sponsors for MSR.

It's Alvaro Parente and Misha Goikhberg in all season in the 57, with Hindman in for the Endurance Cup and Almendinger for Daytona.

Chassis quality hasn't been crucial to RWR's business model thus far, so I'm not sure why it would matter now...

Exactly. Would think car and spares are probably priced lower, which would equate to being able to offer seats at a somewhat lower rate (still have the overhead of facilities, crew, transport).

With the field growing in P2, how will the media coverage change, or will it?

Wasn't BAR1 selling the chassis at 200k or something by spring 2018, the price must have been quite low by the time they were actually purchased

The 86 MSR car gets 3rd and 4th drivers today, Jules Gounon in for Daytona and Shinya Michimi for the enduro rounds, stepping up from US Super Trofeo and SuperGT.

Another Aston Martin for Daytona, Dalla Lana with factory AMR team in GTD for Daytona only. He's running with I think the usual cast of characters, Ross Gunn, Mathias Lauda and Pedro Lamy. It sounds like a Daytona only program without any thought to further IMSA rounds.

Remember that the Riley/Multimatic received all the Mazda updates (new rear suspension and bellhousing) after the debut year when the car got the podium. When BAR1 made the race with the updated car they did almost no practice with the car. It was fitted with the Continentals that year.

So, the car should be a bit better than in 2017, but the team have to know the car. On the other side, the Orecas have made million of miles of testing and races with tons of data.

Rick Ware should try to get all the possible data from Mazda team about the Michelin tires throught Multimatic if they want to be near the Orecas.

Gtd could a Nice size grid for daytona. Maybe 20 cars?

Entry list has come before Christmas in past but also after as well. I will guess it will be 42 cars overall.

Good to see Dyson's interest in prototypes being revived by driving the Ginetta. Makes me wonder if a different class structure would have worked for IMSA. Instead of dpi and P2, what if the P2 cars were left as their original spec and just been part of an AM class - which could also include dpi's? While the other pro dpi teams would get their own class. Would some teams/people be interested in a Mazda or Caddy if it was available in an AM scenario?

It looks like Rick Ware Racing is busy these days



A video of the car warming up.

Cody Ware about the difference between JSP2 and the Multimatic

Quote:
Biggest difference for me is just dealing with the interior differences, we got the car on a platform very similar handling wise to the JSP2 and I’m happy with it

The DPi-P2 split was made on request of the three main prototypes sponsors aka manufacturers who didn't wanna see a repeat of the o-so-near-successful Core run in 2018.

Other S365 notes from Bahrain to impact IMSA.

***Aston Martin Racing has ruled out a GT Le Mans entry for January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona, with managing director John Gaw confirming to Sportscar365 that the British manufacturer will focus its efforts around its two new-gen Vantage GT3 cars, which are set for their North American debuts.

***Longtime The Heart of Racing-backed driver Alex Riberas is expected to be confirmed as a full-season driver for the newly formed team’s Aston Martin effort, with an increased role for the Spaniard possible within the AMR structure.

***AF Corse will not be present at Daytona for the first time since 2011, with team principal Amato Ferrari confirming to Sportscar365 that his team will have no entries for either the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season-opener or Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in March.

Well we still usually get some Ferrari Daytona only entry. Maybe that Via Italia effort from last year will return. And we know WRT Audi will be back. That lineup looks solid with Dreis and Mirko. Maybe an early race favorite. Got to think Monteplast/Land will be there too. GTD could have over 20 cars in the race. Half of the overall entry I imagine.

Confident now that DPI will have 9, LMP2 6 (15 prototypes overall), and GTLM 7. For the latter, Risi and R.L.L. should be licking their chops. Got to think Porsche and Corvette could have new car teething issues come up. Although they will be fast. Would not be surprised GTLM pole qualifying time to be in the 1 min 41 bracket. Getting into Gen 3 DP era times there.

It's going to be a busy busy event at Sebring with the WEC taking over Friday.

New time for WEC race, 12-8 pm. Sounds like it's to allow more track & corner worker, and a few drivers, rest between races.

Means Friday is now IMSA quali before lunch and the WEC race.

Thursday is IMSA PC race, Michelin Pilot race, WEC quali and IMSA night practice.

Sounds like a lot of racing for your money.

Sebring WEC race gets a lot more daylight racing now. That is the best part. Too bad that series is not that great right now. Ford and BMW leaving made things very ordinary in the GT category. IMSA GTLM is in a tad better shape, but not much more. And we know the deal with LMP.
