I was at VIR for a track day this weekend and Multimatic showed up at the end of the day yesterday. Not sure if it was testing for Ford or Mazda, I would assume Ford since VIR is a GT-only race, but you never know.

It's officially official. RLL to carry on as the BMW foil in IMSA, with the M8 GTE.

Interesting to Lapierre in a Ligier and not in an Oreca as expected.

Are the tests coming up going to be public? I hope we see some footage from it.

JDC will be back with the same lineup next year which I think is great.
http://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/si...to-jdc-miller/ They have also taken delivery of their second chassis and will be test drivers at Sebring. Including Colin Thompson. I think it would be great to see a P3 driver make the step up. |

Kenton Koch would be a good option too - as are Sean Rayhall and Austin Cindric. Plenty of US racing talent around it seems.

The only downside of Lapierre in the ESM is that it probably means DragonSpeed won't be returning. Hedman has said he's not been that interested as well.

Since they've rebuilt the stands at Daytona all testing has been closed to the public. Hopefully that changes at some point but I'm not going to hold my breath. They will however sell you a track tour for about $20 that gets you in the stands for about 10 minutes and in the infield where they keep you as far away from the track and garages as they possibly can.

They should do a prologue type thing the wec does. I know they have the roar though.
