I believe the car is theirs as well although he owns a couple including one of the Coke liveried cars picked up after Petit 2019.

Why would Paul Miller run in Pro with Sellers/Snow as Snow is an Am. There's no mention of dropping GTD to no Platinum or Gold or other driver class changes, it would likely kill a few entries running funded guys who don't want to run against the Pro teams. Think the only gap you'll see will be confidential vs customer tires for the Pro vs GTD class.
I think Paul Miller would run in Pro because it would be a challenge. They weren't scared to run GT top class cars before as a private porsche team vs the factory backed efforts in ALMS. Plus i think Snow is good enough to be a pro, and wasn't he labeled as such a couple years ago before being reclassified?
