- Surprised to see both Turner & Paul Miller entering GTD *Am* with the hot shoes that they have. Buuuut, it's clear with RLL and the BMW factory entering in Pro, that would be a bit of a conflict of interest. Maybe that'll change when BMW and RLL move up to LMDh in '23 prototype?

- Any word on Compass racing returning with an Acura or McLaren?

Compass would definitely not be using a Mclaren, as they sold it to Crucial, which will be running Endurance Cup this year

It sounds like RLL are planning on a single year of GTD PRO prior to LMDH in '23, so I wouldnt be surprised if BMW asked Turner / PMR very nicely to hold out til then to take over the mantle. Perhaps that request is incentivised with funding and or factory driver support for '23, allowing the teams to run a car in GTD PRO and GTD AM

Great list so far Bcarr6, lots of useful info there.

This situation with the Weathertech team is interesting. My understanding is that "Proton" as an entity, specializes in Porsche products, that's all I've seen them work with in the past on and off the circuit. So they've now found themselves managing a double Mercedes GT3 effort for the Rolex, in conjunction with WeatherTech racing who's also simultaneously running a 911 Porsche (Proton's bread and butter). I haven't followed sportscar racing as closely last year as I have in the past, so perhaps I missed a memo somewhere? Why didn't they just choose to run a 3 car Porsche effort?

Also, T3 Motorsport and TR3 Racing? That won't confuse anyone at all during the race !

Any word on when we can expect the official entry list from IMSA?

Weathertech had run a Mercedes a couple years ago and still have it, so that is where the first one came from. Then this other car appears asking for Proton to run it as well, and Weathertech is providing some sponsorship along with a Merc dealer from Montana? I'm sure it makes sense behind the scenes!

I wouldn't expect the full entry list until a week or so before the event in most cases, but then again we have the Roar coming up 10 days from now that all cars are required to compete in. So basically we are 10 days out from the start of the event, and i think we will see an entry list in the next day or two.

It appears to have been updated 1/5/22 but the provisional schedule is up for Daytona so something for the attendees to ponder in the meantime.

From what I have read on sportscar365, WeatherTech has bought a Montana-based dealership Mercedes of Billings last july. It might make sense to run some Mercedes then. ANd I believe that they have been happy with the service provided by proton so why not...

DSC in posting this news shared that we are awaiting the Northwest Aston Martin plus 'a couple' more GTD's. Maybe theres one more GTD Pro out there, just maybe

Oh, and full entry list is WEDNESDAY apparently

Dave MacNeil bought it after he made his money to found WeatherTech from owning a couple Mercedes dealerships in the past and he wanted I've again. The ownership group was divesting and splitting the company, apparently they didn't really agree and ended up getting sued by MacNeil. He really really wanted it and only MB dealer up for sale in a couple years in the US. Apparently it's 8 million bucks to buy one if you're in the market.

It's not like Proton can't figure out how a GT3 car works and likely hire a few guys who have wrenched on them. Guessing more than a few guys and gals out there who can.

On the latest TWISC, MP said there are potentially a couple of sponsors that have fallen through on that existing list so he's expecting a bit of switching around. Possibly even a team being promoted from a reserve list of sorts. So doesn't sound like it's a total lock.

BMW confirms the lineups for Daytona and Sebring

No. 25 BMW M4 GT3--Augusto Farfus, Connor De Phillippi, John Edwards and Jesse Krohn

No. 24 BMW M4 GT3--Philipp Eng, Marco Wittmann, Nick Yelloly and Sheldon van der Linde

Krohn and van der Linde are Daytona only

https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/b...4-gtd-pro-bid/

Interesting tidbit in the article though

Post-Sebring, it’s expected the program will reduce to a single-car effort for De Phillippi and Edwards.

61 cars!

About as much as anyone could expect from a Daytona entry, just hope the yellows aren’t too heavy

Wow not too shabby! I can't wait to see how the GT3 Pro cars interact with the P3's and Am cars on the infield.

Massive list, awesome!! And to think the grid would be at 62 had the circumstances with Paul Miller played out different. And yet, all this doesn't even hold a candle to the grid numbers of the 90's and early 2000's, the pit lane must have been total chaos back then, different times for sure.
