The white border around the letters is too thin. Red on dark grey is hard to read.

Great to see a factory team as part of the effort along with sales. With Joey Hand announced as the development driver, i guess it is safe to say we know who one of the team drivers will be!

Also going to be a new GT4 car for next season.

In another significant market shift in prototype racing, ex Bentley Factory GT team and Ford WRC outfit M-Sport are set to confirm a three-race IMSA LMP2 programme in the current 2022 season.

DSC has confirmed that the Cumbria, UK outfit will utilise one of the chassis owned by Era Motorsport to race at Watkins Glen, Road America and Petit Le Mans later this season with a driver squad still to be finalised.

TR3 sticking around for Sebring as well.

Considering an endurance program but ruled out sprint races

Racing Harz · 1 Feb 2022, 20:37 (Ref:4097013)

T3 Motorsport will race in Sebring and Watkins Glen.

Helio and Kyle will have to skip Sebring to run at Texas, Indy will be changing the schedule to require Saturday running.

RHR returns to the track with Ganassi for Sebring in the 01.

KMags looks likely in the 02 as Peugeot won't be running at Sebring.

Does anyone have a link or source of technical regulations? I found myself looking a picture of the m8 gte swan neck wing mounts. I get it's more advantageous to keep the bottom of the wing clean, though I wondered why they don't just make the mounts also the end plates. Is there a rule specifying how far apart wing supports can be?

broadrun96 · 17 Feb 2022, 23:47 (Ref:4099189)

Jose Maria Lopez in for retired dude in the 48 as expected with Indy drivers staying in Texas rather than his chartered flight for everyone to travel between the two.

And bottom of the page has 2021 so GTLM regs

seanyb505 · 21 Feb 2022, 18:43 (Ref:4099649)

Grayed out sections for some of the technical stuff in both GTD Pro and GTLM. I didn't check other classes to see what kind of car design and construction info was in place or unavailable.

It's weird it feels like one of those things that it's just the way it is, but I'm sure there's a rule somewhere dictating wing support placement.

broadrun96 · 22 Feb 2022, 02:56 (Ref:4099695)

I skimmed it and didn't see anything but wonder it that is covered in the ACO regs and IMSA uses the car as homologated for that. Wonder if the forces are also best applied there at the center of the car or diffuser design requires that mounting in the center of the car so it has become the best solution.

Stoffel in for Castorneves for Sebring

- Distance between supports and side plates of 100 mm minimum.

So the hard limit is 1850mm apart and they can't double as side plates.

What's effectively limiting their width on probably every car anyways though is that they have to be straight up and down when viewed from the front/back and directly attach to the chassis, which for example in the case of the space frame C8 or 488 means they have to fit between the wheels and even on the unibody cars it's difficult to place them outside the rear lid width.

97 returns for Sebring

That's good to have them back, hope they get a good result

Entry list + notes: https://www.imsa.com/news/2022/03/09...1RbCLHKFHHxwgg

An amazing number of cars, loving it!

Wondering who'll get drafted in to replace K-Mag in the #02? Perhaps one of the Toyota guys (bar Conway and Kobayashi) or maybe Briscoe who has the obvious Ganassi link (and assuming Glickenhaus would let him). Romain Dumas, Paul di Resta, Harry Tinckwell or Rene Rast might be options as well (and all of these drivers would have to pull double duty as they're already scheduled to participate in the WEC race on Friday).

**Adam43** · 10 Mar 2022, 00:00 (Ref:4101853)

I’m so up for someone doing both races. If only…

It's a very good question. Those drivers would be ideal replacements. Although circumstances might get in the way. Is there any regulation stopping drivers from racing in both races?

No, various drivers (Conway, Kobayashi, Keating to name a few) already do. It's up to the primary employer to release their employee.
