that largely depends on how much "mention money" Porsche and Mazda have given them.

Looks like Porsche didn't fair so well this year in GT. Those two Audi's and that Ferrari were all very strong at the end. Go figure since over 30 P cars where in GT one would have figured the odds for at least one on the GT podium. Not a great weekend for Porsche.

IMO Porsche needs to consolidate all their factory drivers into two cars and really take the fight to the Audi and Ferrari factory/quasi-factory teams.

of course having a 991 would help as well

Yep, I'm only guessing the 991 GT3 race version comes next year.

I believe a Cayman won the new GX? class.

its a great race to attend. I went a couple of years ago and spent most of the race in Patrick Dempseys pit box. At night they were feeding us almost every hour, they even handed out snuggies with dempsey racing logo on them. I want to take my little guy back in a year or two and rent an rv for the infield.

Been to this race live 8 times. My most memorable was 1991 watching a Porsche 962 win and run for the last time.
