Was a good battle in GT and for P3 overall. Could have been much worse with only 21 cars.

The problem ELMS has is it costs around the same to run a GTE car as it does an LMP2 car. And now LMP2 is the top class, why would you bother running a GTE entry when you could go for overall victory?

What they need to do is combine GTE-Pro and GTE-Am into one class (Let's call it GTE) and introduce GT3 cars as a second GT Class since they are significantly cheaper. They already have GTC class for Porsches (with no entries!) so it'll fit fine.

LMP2
LMPC
GTE
GTC

That's how ELMS should structure itself.

Level 5 are possibly in trouble - seems Scott Tucker is a massive fraudster...

Quote:
Development of the new Viper GTS-R began last year. Powered by an 8.4-liter V10, the car has allegedly received a waiver by the ACO to compete in GTE-Pro/GT, as rules prohibit an engine displacement over 5.5 liters.

Pretty substantial waiver.

That's an understatement... Still, always pleased to see new GT models entering the fray.

Since I'm a bit of a Dodge mark, I so want to see that in victory lane.

Or hell, a Vette vs Viper battle in the final hour of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
