Too much division to come to an end - I'm glad to see it before one went under. I wondered what was happening when I read that the Circuit of the Americas was negotiating for the US FIA Race that typically has been held at Sebring (& Petit). The fact that a P1 Car wasn't even in the picture at the end of todays race in Baltimore tells the story that small fields & competition in Sports Cars had deluted the landscape T.C. |

Nothing groundbreaking. The details:
No new name yet Class structure still being organized. LM GTE will be retained as it's seen as the best of both series. LMP1/P1 is dead. The Delta Wing may be included somehow. They have to work on a lot of the technical details such as tires (ALMS has many brands, GA is spec) and the GTs, The premiere prototype class has a goal of being the best in the world. They aim to keep the Le Mans relationship in some manner (Speculating, but most likely with GTE) 12 races in 2014 starting with Daytona and then Sebring. |
