Jesus.
Oreca says that time is running out and that they think the manus won't be able to get everything together in time for Daytona.

Might we see some WEC-spec P2s with Gibson engines badged as Chevy/whatever at Daytona if they can't get everything together? At what point does IMSA delay the bodywork mandate to 2018 and allow manus to run the WEC-spec bodywork instead? I know that some modifications would have to be made for turbo units, but that seems like it would be much more doable in the timeframe given.

Of course, I'm still of the opinion that sometime in the summer IMSA will spring grandfathering the DPs in for 2017. Gotta believe that if that happened, then they WOULD be BoP'd to the new cars.
