I’ve never seen a Buick that isn’t being driven poorly so imagine the yellows. And I’d hate the color.

I counted today, over a dozen Buicks with the fronts destroyed. ALL were definitely rear end caused by the driver, no damage at all to the rear so they couldn't say they were pushed. Every time it made me laugh

Buick has a bit more full send to their dent, more trucks bump drafting than Cup cars a slight push

And one tried to enter the local FBI office at full send, popup barrier 1, Buick 0

Strange news. What about AXR if this is true (probably isn't?).

They will likely have their one but WTR/AA would add the Ganassi cars. I would not be surprised to see Jota, who's been mentioned for WEC, try for both programs together

Things will be interesting for 2025, that's for sure. MSR is a great choice performance-wise but they'll have to monitor them closely on pressures and other stuff

Indy had moved but that opens up space on NBC for IMSA

https://www.imsa.com/news/2024/06/21...hts-extension/

Expanded NBC mothership coverage, flag to flag on Peacock as well for multi-year extension. 17 hours of racing OTA, sounds like the rest on USA or James Mays favorite streaming platform

Pipo free agent after Petit after AXR and he agree to part ways. Wonder if he's moving to a new Caddy ride or rolling the dice to get in with another car.

I'm guessing one of the new Caddy's or more likely a Acura ride?

According to what Chistian Fittipaldi said in his podcast:

Cadillac wanted to renew his contract, but Pipo wanted more money for it.
Cadillac has its own politics of paying all drivers the same amount so there was no possibility of both parties making a deal.

He actually has nowhere to go other than a few LMP2 teams he has been in talks with.
Fittipaldi believes that Pipo will do the LMP2 races next year while preparing for a new GTP program for 2026, possibly with Ganassi.

flatlandsman has been held in scrutiny for further testing
I think his limit is LMP2, he is not young, though very fit and capable, I see no issue with him saying this, it is what you expect of Ben, honest, utterly open and aware of his limits. I guess maturity has a cost, I only wish some far younger people had the same ability to see the big picture and be aware that they are NOT as good as they think they are.!!

I'd be highly surprised if Jack Aitken is paid the same as Sebastian Bourdais, V/d Zande, Bamber and Derani. You'll never get parity with the various backgrounds and accomplishments imo.

Anyways, Derani will find a top class seat somewhere, be it in IMSA or WEC.

Regarding the changes with who runs the Acura's.

Does that mean any more or less GTP cars in the grid next season?

This just seems to be some swapping of teams running the cars. Not sure if the WTR/Andretti program will be 1 car like Ganassi had, or back up to two.

Other potential additions would be another JDC Porsche. And maybe the Aston.

Yeah, I find it surprising too. I believe Ganassi/Hyundai made an offer, Pipo asked AXR/Cadillac if they would cover it, they didn't, so he is moving to the other team.
His role as a development driver would prevent him from doing a full season in 2025, specially with others factory teams, so that is where the selected LMP2 races comes in.
