That is going to be great to see (pictures). I was under the impression that they would be missing this test.

In unrelated news, Farano is back at Tower in 24 after missing 2nd half of this season due to injury. https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/f...r-lmp2-lineup/

I believe it's mandatory for IMSA's BoP process. I'll be there just for the Thursday, fingers crossed I'll get to see the car!

Take the Kelly Moss Porsche 92 out of GTD Pro list so down to 9 full season runners. I think that takes Porsche out of GTD Pro

I'd forgotten about Rexy somehow so still one with AO

Interesting, 2 Rolex entries have become full season

"***An updated full season WeatherTech Championship entry list is expected to be released in the coming days. Sportscar365 understands that at least two additional entries that were confirmed on the Rolex 24 entry list have turned into full-time efforts, pushing the full season entry list to at least 50 cars."

There were 9 Michelin Endurance Cup entrants and 3 Rolex-only ones so you pick from there.

Proton has a pretty sweet new livery and sponsors

That is going to look great! But also makes me wonder if Weather tech will be sponsoring a car in Imsa this year

**Adam43** · 9 Dec 2023, 02:30 (Ref:4188697)

It’s not as good as the Penske livery.

Maybe that's the Proton GTD Mustang staying after Daytona, hinting at it with Mustang Sampling??

It gave me a Rich Energy shudder / flashback when I first saw the pic.

Yea but Mustang Sampling isn't Rich Energy so I think they'll pay the agreed sum without going to court

Change of car number too. From #59 to #5, which is what the JDC Porsche was down as on the entry list.

Good catch, perhaps the number comes with the sponsorship?

tomcug · 9 Dec 2023, 13:41 (Ref:4188728)

Seems so.

"as well as the familiar number 5 which accompanied other Mustang Sampling-sponsored prototypes of the past"

Quiet, you...

Penske livery is unique and great. Anyone saying otherwise must be blind.

Let me book an emergency appointment to the opticians then...

Penske's livery is yet another red-white-black rehash, like Audi & Toyota before them (and that's just in the modern era). I couldn't think of a less appropriate words to describe it. It is neither aesthetically offensive, nor is it pleasing; it's as mediocre and milquetoast as corporate liveries get.

As for the new Proton livery ... it's definitely better, but for me the black-gold combination hems a little close to the JPS rip-off liveries of about a decade ago. Hopefully it looks better in motion with the chevrons on top.
