Interesting thing is that every GTLM car will be factory supported except the Ferraris and the Falken Tire Porsche.

Per the link that Speed King posted on the Porsche vs. Ferrari thread, that seems doubtful given the running cost increase from more race distance http://www.racer.com/paul-miller-rac...rticle/312821/

Sounds like they would be running GTLM if they could buy a 991:

Interesting to note that they say it would actually be easier for them to find funding for GTLM than the smaller GTD budget. |

I would not be surprised to see Falken in either a 458 or an Aston Martin next year. Those are really the only 2 privateer options out there right now for GT LM.

Paul Miller Racing's livery would look good on an Aston, though. I wonder if they've given it any thought.

Jeff Braun @jvbraun 1h
If I am right a P2 team can’t win USCC championship if they go to Le Mans because Detroit is a Prototype race weekend same as LM test day Expand Guy Cosmo @GuyCosmo 56m @jvbraun Yes, pretty lame... Expand Jeff Braun @jvbraun 49m @GuyCosmo Sort of leave us out of that option, dang! Expand Guy Cosmo @GuyCosmo 47m @jvbraun WEC Expand Jeff Braun @jvbraun 45m @GuyCosmo Oh yea there you go, fun. Or Daytona, Sebring, ELMS and Le Mans then Petit LM. |

And in the past that has been a problem for how many P2 teams?? We are worried about something that hasn't been a problem in the past and have we seen if the scoring for the USCC accounts for this and drops a race score?

How about only DPs at Detroit and include the P2s at VIR? The only alternative I could see to accomodate Le Mans LMP2 teams is a "drop worst result" clause

Right, because the schedule isn't confusing enough. Remember, this series is still supposed to have with ties with the ACO. Belle Isle weekend pretty much discourages any American P2 team from going to Le Mans if they are in the hunt for the championship in TUSCC.

Luckily, all P2 teams that we know (as of now) to be running a P2 in USCC next year are two car teams. How likely is is that they'd get two invites in a class as oversubscribed as LMP2 in Europe?
Enter one car on Saturday at Detroit, one for the LM test on Sunday. |

So Porsche will offer customer 991 GTEs for 2014, but they might not be able to have more than CORE's 2 factory cars available for Daytona due to time constraints. |
