BTW, I still hate the name DPi, you think they would make a break from the GRAND AM days. They should have just called GTP. I know I've said it before and I'm going to keep saying.
DPi is no different than LMP.

Prototypes named after the track their marquee race takes place at. The DPi is far enough removed from the new LMP2 car to warrant a name change.
