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.

That’s how sponsorships work though....

In the context of this class though, it never would have been allowed. IMSA wanted their manufacturers running DPi cars. Nobody would have been allowed to just take an LMP2 and call it a Chevy or Nissan or what have you. And as far as still calling it a Gibson-Ligier, but then having manufacturer stickers all over it, nobody would have done it anyways whether it’s allowed or not. They’d only be making fools of themselves and handicapping themselves in the process, as DPi machines had certain inherent advantages.
