I wasn't really sure how AXR got in but I guess IMSA champion does make sense.Wasn't AXR in Le Mans on the grounds of being the reigning IMSA GTP champion? Of course, then the wild card was the 3rd 963. Nevertheless, the article quotes Wayne Taylor saying "global program", my immediate thought was that he's looking to compete in Le Mans.
So WTR/A wants to go to LeMans, Acura says no. Cadillac says they are parting ways with Gnassi. Mike Shank wants to come back to IMSA. Mike Shank announces 2 Acuras for 2025. WTR/A knows the only possible way to get to LeMans is with Cadillac. So I wonder if WTR/A approached Cadillac and said they would be willing to switch over and that is what prompted Cadillac to announce the Gnassi split, or did Cadillac approach WTR/A?
