    Hi,

    I've just read an article that talks about a new class called GT Prototype (GTP) for Le Mans (and WEC?) which includes the LMP1 concept of hybrid engines. Sounds very interesting to me, although I would miss these crazy fast LMP1 downforce monster. But there are reasonable reasons to ditch LMP1 from a manufacturer point of view.

    A new GT1 era would be very nice :hearteyes:

    PS: @RaceRoom, save money for the licenses :)

    Thanks for the Info:)
    If it gets the WEC and IMSA on the same page I am all for it.
