LeMan Daytona h ? WTF is the “h”? Did it just look good? Other than some dramatic music and voice-over there wasn’t much there other than some stilted English. It will be interesting to hear the specifics of what the plan is.

Marshall Pruett has more details. Meanwhile both the WEC and USCR forums on Reddit are hotly discussing the news.

I’m thrilled to hear this, but nothing’s been decided yet beyond the intent .

Thanks! That fills in a lot of questions but of course it raises more which is to be expected when IMSA and ACO (and eventually the FIA) are involved.

I’m very cautiously optimistic about the news. Part of me is still waiting to see if the manufacturers are actually really onboard with everything and are going to build the cars and teams.
