With all the variety has been stripped out of ACO rules racing, I think this should be applauded.
To me, G56 has been transformed into a spot for cars not within the current rules. Could be something with new tech, or could be a stock car.

The Cup schedule is so relentless. Taking this year as an example, you've got races on both the Test Day and LM24 race weekends. So you'd imagine any full time Cup drivers are non starters. Surely you'd want a name driver or two to add to the whole thing. I'm just gonna come out and say it - could we get Jeff Gordon at Le Mans, in a Nascar?
I was thinking Nascar would love to have a current driver in there, for the publicity of its own series if nothing else. Maybe the schedule next year will have some gaps?

I was thinking Jimmy with the prototype driving he has been doing the last couple of seasons. Would they go with a car for retired drivers only though? Nascar is probably more about drivers than cars, so I bet they try to get at least one current driver in there.
