Sebring 12 hour Porsche out?
 
Anyone else see this info? Will Porsche show for classes other than GTP?

I dont see how IMSA does not end up caving on this. Without Porsche, sports car racing is in big trouble.

IMSA will shoot itself in the foot. It is inevitable.

And Alan races an Aston now...

All hearsay right now, but Porsche has pulled out before...

Hardwick announced he's only doing the Endurance races and MDK has pulled out. Such a mess. Excited to be going to Sebring weekend but hope IMSA gets this fixed or it's going to be a disappointing season for a lot of people.

Yep
and some VERY harsh words toward IMSA and its BOP

I don't blame any of the Porsche teams one bit. IMSA and Porsche have had their struggles before, let's see if logic comes into play.
Hopefully sooner rather than later.

What a mess…

Curious to know how the Porsche's are doing in the WEC v. their competition, are they on pace with the other cars? Guess they must be since that's where Hardwjck is going.

They bounced from the GT3 R after Daytona!?

WEC runs the latest iteration of the RSR, not the GT3R.

But will they?
A majority of the paying fans at the track and watching on TV are Porsche fans. Though I guess with the GTP cars all of us will continue to watch regardless…

But as I posted on the other thread…NASCAR....er...I mean...IMSA doesn't care.
My guess is MB paid more...or... does it seem odd that the year the Weathertech Sponsorship for the series is up for renewal that the MB has favorable BOP, the Weathertech car wins Daytona, and gets Cooper his win? Then he 'retires?
