Maybe Michelin don't want to supply tyres to a leading team from a series that uses Contis?

It's not like Muscle Milk have a choice in USCC. It's either Continentals or no USCC.

I meant more from a data sharing point of view. Probably nonsense anyway...

Why would Michelin refuse to supply a potential paying customer that runs in TUSCC? Possible payback for IMSA's single tire source mentality. That's pure speculation on my part.

I'll be cheering for Corvette Racing and the few American drivers in this year's race ... same as the past few years.

Just a waste of a process and press releases.

At least they didn't do what ESM did last year and actually file their entry before backing out.
It was very annoying when they did that, but in the back of my mind ever since they started LMP2. They've kept quiet this year... I wonder if they've even considered sending an entry application for an HPD ARX in LMP2?

Always struck me as a bit unprofessional to pull out at the last minute, in part because it leaves other reserve-listed teams scrambling just before the race. Especially if a team is on the budget...

Well, if you look at it that way, the 'list' is incredibly long if you treat it as an accumulation of North American null entries that have mentioned a Le Mans effort.

Nevertheless, I see you're point... wouldn't be surprised if Risi dropped out in the process. They've been on pins and needles for a while now, especially since that disastrous ALMS season last year that saw them destroy several cars through almost no fault of their own. And this year, the massive crash at Daytona that sent Matteo Malucelli to hospital... it hasn't been an easy return to sportscar racing, but they said they will provide assistance to Krohn Racing at Le Mans. That makes me think they'll both be there, but you never know... I must admit I never thought of Muscle Milk dropping out.

Some food for cynical thought... perhaps the poor performance of LMP2s at the Rolex 24 spurred Greg Pickett to throw in the towel?

From Sportscar365...

Quote:
“We’ve gone to Le Mans in the past and we know how much work it takes to get to and be well prepared for that race,” Pickett added. “We also know how much work it takes to fight for a championship, especially with a new car, which is why we’ve decided to solely focus on the TUDOR Championship this season.

“We’ve seen what we’re up against following the 24 hours of Daytona, and that is a very steep hill to climb. While we know that we can battle with the best, we want to ensure that we’re not leaving anything on the table in this Championship fight.
They freaking beat OAK and ESM, some of the best in the business! I think that perhaps the Daytona Prototype domination at the Rolex 24 has gone to their heads a little bit, especially after sweeping the floor with Dyson last year in the ALMS.

Surely they would have considered their opponents and perhaps a greater disparity of BoP than was initially expected.

Also, the date conflict with the TUSC Detroit / Belle Isle round didn't help. In hindsight, it seems a bit foolish to put it a day before the test day when IMSA clearly knows new American teams and drivers need to attend it. Seems a bit counterproductive to me!

*Sigh*....

Somehow the words 'ESM' and 'best in the business' don't compute.

MM is a top team, Starworks has already shown how overrated the top teams in FIA WEC LMP2 are and I'm sure MM's 'competitiveness' issues they are referring to is just a press release addition to the real problem regarding the tire situation.

Usually the "least" interesting first, so that would be: ELMS - WEC - Le Mans
