Entry list looks strong. I don't know why, but I thought Corvette was running a proper GT3 car this season? I didn't realize they were being allowed to run that old revised GTLM car again.
A little weird that Wehlen car still had some TBD drivers.
Not surprised to see Colton Herta possibly being shared between the two BMW's.
There are some straight sleeper cells in the GTD Am. Magnus Racing looks super strong - tough to realize that car qualifies as a "Pro-Am" style car with that much driving talent.
GTD Pro is intriguing in that almost every team is running a different car, so that's a little wild.
Also, happy to see so many teams already adopting the new Ferrari. I believe Pruett said that Ferrari sold more of the new GT3 within a week or two of launch...than they planned to sell in the first 4-5 years. As in, they received dozens and dozens of orders for the car. In the same discussion I believe they stated that in 2022 some 305 cars were running in GT3 spec around the world. That's a pretty sizable business case if you can corner even 10% of that market. I think that highlights how successful that formula is (at the same time, I believe around 30 cars were running GTLM spec).

I am going to be VERY intrigued about the LMDh and LMH cars in 2023. Since we're talking IMSA, I'm obviously referring to the LMDh entries. I am normally not into Cadillac. However, how can you not love the roar of that Caddy engine? The Northstar LMPs remain my all-time favorite Cadillac race cars, but this new LMDh entry is becoming one of my favorite Cadillac race cars.
This should be a fun season nonetheless. Not only in IMSA, but in GT/Sportscar/Endurance racing in general.
