Some food for thought I just looked in on.
Remember a while back how IMSA was (allegedly) considering making LMP3 a part of the Conti series? Well, I honestly liked that idea. I liked the idea of a feeder championship that was a perfect mirror of the Weathertech series. Now, there are numerous reasons good and bad to have not followed that idea, but I got to wondering during all this arguing about how things would look had that been done.
So I took a look at pole and best race laps from Sebring to see where it'd stand.
ST pole: 2:22.265
GS pole: 2:11.610
P3 pole: 1:56.844
ST best race lap: 2:23.180(posted by 5th place finisher)
GS best race lap: 2:13.333(posted by 8th place finisher)
P3 best race lap: 1:58.955(posted by race winner)
I think it would have slipped in pretty well. That's very similar gap to the one between P and GTLM(slightly bigger, but not by an overly massive degree).
It really would've been a feeder-level version of the Weathertech championship if they'd done that. I think that's kind of cool.
