@Acura: join the party, at least at Le Mans!
With the succes of the privateer Porsches you would expect interest from teams as replacement for Jota. |

Either Isotta or Peugeot is not gonna be back next year - 39 cars (21x HY + 18x GT) at most is my guess!

I could also see one additional high level team try to get one of those JOTA Porsches. |

What an awesome video from Wind Tunnel, theoretical Ferrari 499p vs Nissan GT500 for one lap at Le Mans. Bring in a GT500 for Garage 56 in 2025!

Not a snowball's chance in hell of this ever happening. A Japanese GT being allowed to challenge the ACO's 'Blue Riband' class at Le Mans? Come on.....

Ford is paying and they surely wouldn't announce it without being pretty confident of a good grid |

So, we can scrub Isotta from the list then. Not much of a surprise really.

No, not a surprise, but it's a retrograde step for the ACO and the WEC.... We all well know what goes around comes around...... These lessons never seem to be learned.

You can't teach someone who doesn't think they need to learn. As far as the ACO are concerned, the demise of Isotta, and Glickenhaus before them, is a price well worth paying for the depth of manufacturer engagement in hypercar. |

However... Both were given the opportunity, it's not really the ACO's fault they weren't funded well enough or competitive enough. Let's not forget Glickenhaus were given a number of chances even though they never completed a full season. Yes, I know, they were welcomed as the only competitor to Toyota.

True enough, but as sure as eggs is eggs, there will come a time in the not too distant future when we will wish we still had them or their like. The chances of getting any new privateer entries now are pretty much non-existent.

Agreed, manufacturers have a habit of vanishing very quickly

IMSA Bronze award winners sound like they will be taking up their auto invites. And a third Corvette sounds likely too.
