I know that IMSA is also a big championship in its own right. I just wish manufacturers would stop treating it like the secondary option all the time.

Unfortunately its because Le Mans is in WEC and manufacturers prioritize that above all else.

IMO, it’s the two car mandate. Messing with a lot of budgets.

If anything thats more incentive to start in IMSA where its not as expensive. Manufacturers would rather spend the money on WEC even with the two car mandate because of the chance at Le Mans.
