-3 all GT races on the sked...I hope? Laguna had splits before. Between Prototype Pro and GTLM in one race, LMPC and GTD (am) in the other. I think this time they should just go with a Prototype race and a GT race.
3. CTMP is probably GTD and GTD (full) only
-logically since they are the ones left after P3 is gone
I do also think the GTD Pro vs GTD Am criteria needs a relook. I suggest Gold/Silver has to be GTD Pro now. GTD Am can be Gold/Bronze or Silver/Silver or Silver/Bronze or Bronze/Bronze

Long Beach will likely go back to that, wouldn't hurt especially as they get very limited space around Indy pits
Split race at Laguna might be a tough sell, they also run a decent number of support events so something would have to go.
Mosport without GTP would be tough too, but going by modern IMSA/ALMS history over 80s split events.
I don't think you can force the Silvers to Pro, and the Gold drivers are the perk the committed Silvers get in the car for training. And there is a Bronze driver benefit for IMSA entry to LM. How that works with very limited GT3 cars will be interesting, but I wouldn't be surprised to see LM only GT3s for Akin/Truman Cup and AsLMS GT be allowed with more cars at LM than WEC
