    Will the Vanwall actually be there? I thought I saw recently that they lost the case for the naming rights.

    Surprise to me !
    They have launched an EV SUV, that looks like a VW Golf, to be registered as a "real" car manufacturer. It's called the Vanwall Vanderwell S Plus.
    Google it ...

    since the name is VanWall Vandervell, just reconfigure it to Vanderwall and problem solved.

    That's actually the part I don't get. They couldn't find a real manufacturer willing to slap their badge on the car?

    Think back to the Nissan dpi we had in IMSA. ESM paid for all the development and bought the motors from Nissan. Nissan had no involvement other than allowing them to call it a Nissan and thus enter the car.

    Probably not? It looks like everything Colin Kolles touches turns to be a complete failure !

    He messed up 3 teams in F1 (Jordan then Midland, Force India and Campos/HRT), never got of the ground in endurance using (illegally it seems) the Lotus brand, and now this !

    Maybe you were looking at GTD not GTD Pro? I see Risi on there. They had committed to the IMSA endurance rounds.

    https://www.imsa.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2023/03/08/2023_IWSC_Sebring12h_PreEvent_EntryList.pdf


    IMSA released a new BoP for the GTD classes. I think it is going to be A LOT more competitive.

    Already a conspiracy theory ?

    The Cadillac may simply be the fastest car.

    This is practice, i. e. BOP managing.

    The Cadillac was outpaced by the Porsche at Daytona, I'd be surprised if they're fastest here.
