I like the 400 unit homologation. That keeps a road car connection, even if it is only from the uber riche. It's still a production run.
There were 25 917 chassis.....

Sorry, Numbers wrong, and apologies all around, but concept of gaming homologation rules still in effect, and point taken.

This. ^

Bring back the golden age of endurance racing at two premier locations in the US. How do you call it "World" Endurance racing and leave out North America anyway.

I'm a GT guy but it was a real thrill to get up close to the Audis, Peugeots and Porsche Spiders that managed to spice up P2. They were otherworldly. Whereas the GT racing level or not, was down to earth,relatable, historical and always got personal it seemed. At least amongst the fans.

I still go to the PL each year but it's a different, and now 2 dimensional experience. I was there as much for GTC races as P1 but no longer. Those DP cars are unrelatable to me,

All races are 6h, except for Le Mans. So no exceptions for you guys
