So much red! I'm really looking forward to this season.The official and provisional entry list for the FIAWEC 2023 is here:

Correct, driving for Chip Ganassi Racing.Am I reading that right with Earl Bamber in the Caddy?
In an interview at the Dubai 24, he said he's signed up with GM and even moved to the US to be closer. He still runs Porsches through EBM.That’s crazy. Thought he’d be in a Porsche, but I guess he couldn’t pass up this drive.
He was already driving for Cadillac and CGR in the IMSA endurance rounds for the last couple of years at least. I guess it was more of a natural fit to stay with Cadillac.That’s crazy. Thought he’d be in a Porsche, but I guess he couldn’t pass up this drive.

That's exactly how I saw it. The first time I heard this I thought WEC has always felt like they are a support race. I know Penske really wants to get a WEC race at Indy but given the choice I would rather see them race at COTA. The time of year pretty much rules out anywhere else. If it could be during warmer weather I would really like to see them go to Road America.It seems increasingly likely that the Super Sebring weekend may go back to being just IMSA. Honestly I wouldn't blame the WEC for looking elsewhere for their U.S. round considering no matter how much they try billing it as co-headlining the fact their race is on a Friday will always make it feel like a support race (I know that's not their stated reason, but I think it's pretty obvious that it's at least one of the bigger issues). The worst part is I'd imagine CoTA and Indy are the only real alternatives, granted Indy would be nice for purely selfish reasons but neither strike me as great replacements for Sebring.

I don't think Road America has the space that Sebring or Indy (At least I believe so) has to host two big events like that (Outside of the Grand Am/ALMS weekend, which only worked because both series had pitiful entry numbers that only served to highlight just how sorely needed the merger was)That's exactly how I saw it.

Laguna Seca?The time of year pretty much rules out anywhere else.
With Qatar becoming the first race of the season in '24 I'm sure they wouldn't mind moving the U.S. date to later in the year. Presuming the rest of the calendar stays the same I could see them wanting to slot it either after Monza (which would work nicely for the IMSA Road America weekend since the WEC has nothing during August) or Fuji.The time of year pretty much rules out anywhere else.

Paddock space wouldn't be an issue as they regularly fit 5 series' for the IMSA weekend and still have plenty of room for all the other stuff you'd expect (sponsor tents/hospitality, merch booths, concessions etc...).I don't think Road America has the space that Sebring or Indy (At least I believe so) has to host two big events like that (Outside of the Grand Am/ALMS weekend, which only worked because both series had pitiful entry numbers that only served to highlight just how sorely needed the merger was)
If WEC pulls out of Sebring then it wouldn't be a double header anywhere else either so the WEC would be a solo event which I think is what they want.I don't think Road America has the space that Sebring or Indy (At least I believe so) has to host two big events like that (Outside of the Grand Am/ALMS weekend, which only worked because both series had pitiful entry numbers that only served to highlight just how sorely needed the merger was)
My favorite bit is that Jordan Taylor is their driver coach! He was beyond humble about it, which I like.Jimmie Johnson, Mike Rockenfeller and Jenson Button will be behind the wheel of the NASCAR Garage 56 effort. Very solid lineup.
Non hybrids are screwed for Spa, Isn't it? About same power and weight without instant torque.
Its as if they are the only big manufacterer that's using a car that's run for multiple seasons while everyone else hasn't.Disappointed in how predictable the Hypercar results were in testing.
Hopefully Toyota isnt so far ahead in the real race next week
Yes. Also, if you have the app on phone delete it and download the new app version.Did they reset all the accounts? It looks like I have to recreate a new one.
