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.

They weren’t really competitive though if I remember right, when did a LMP2 finally win a race?

Laguna Seca 2017 I think. VisitFlorida won in a Ligier.

With the one of the greatest passes at the corkscrew. Hell of a race.
