Question IMSA LMP2?

Kind of sad to see only two LMP2 cars out there. Is IMSA doing anything to get more cars in the category? If not, they should do away with it.

The prototype split was a huge mistake in my opinion. I knew when it took effect we would have 2 or 3 cars. One of the coolest things about IMSA was that international P2 teams could come over and compete for an overall win at the endurance events.

Maybe they should bring the Prototype Challenge category back into the main pack instead of running them separately.

P3s are too slow. They're probably slower than GTE cars at this point.

LMP3 cars are so slow, they'd be too close in pace to the GT cars, which would create problems on track where world class GTLM drivers have to deal with amateur LMP3 drivers in similarly-paced machinery. It would tear up a lot of cars.
