Do you really think WRT will ditch Audi? Would they pull out of GT & focus on a customer hypercar program with someone like Lamborghini or Cadillac? I guess a crazy suggestion could be that they switch to Lamborghini in GTWC & run a customer hypercar team.
I think if WRT can score a factory deal for someone like Lamborghini in LMDH they will take it. Note Bortolotti in the WRT car this weekend...

Does that mean they HAVE to move over to Lamborghini in GT3? I'd say Lamborghini wouldnt force them, they are all VAG after all. If it was with a none VAG LMDH competitor, maybe the conversation is different.

Curious as I certainly dont know, what was Froggatts path into GT's??

65 cars for Spa 24 Hours:

https://www.dailysportscar.com/2022/...-revealed.html

Taking bets on:

How many go out on the first lap
How many make it to dusk
How many make it to dawn
How many finish

I reckon less than half the field will make it to 24 Hours

Not that 65 GT3s round Spa is anything less than awesome of course!

List looks decent. Plenty of potential winners.

Shame there wasn't an extra Pro BMW. Feels like those gold McLarens have gone missing too?

Excited to make my first trip over there this year.

Ah yeah, any reason why the JP Motorsport McLarens are not there?
Also they did turn pink and blue in the last race at Paul Ricard before vanishing.

They want to have more experience, before entering the biggest gt3 race in the world, they told in Zandvoort.

Seems like a good way to get that, would be by entering the biggest GT3 race in the world.

In general, JP Motorsport should gain more experience, not only in Spa.

Enges car didnt appear, very sad.

The 24 hour race is going to be a proper SC fest if the support races are anything to go by.

Don't blame the preferred tire manufacturer! It's all the team's fault.

Looks like something broke on the front of the 26 before it went off and into the wall at the other side of the track.

Another tire?

I thought they had changed the safety car procedure so they didn't have to go through this mess of FCY to SC back to green.

The stream is awful too... the quality is all over the place.

FCY at 22:09:09 to go.

That's 20 minutes and 58 seconds

For a SINGLE UNDAMAGED car.
In my books, that is ridiculous.
