That diffuser is insane. That whole car is pretty insane really...

Fabulous

The huge gap just looks so weird.

I agree and the rear wing is hanging so low off the back of the car.

WeatherTech is now the entitlement sponsor of the United Sports Car Series, so it's now the WTUSCC beginning in 2016. TUDOR will serve as the official timekeeper of the series.

You can drop the U letter and "IMSA" is being brought back more visibly. 10 year deal and prize fund goes up.

Guess they don't want alot of car count in GTD then

If this was to go under effect now, the Riley Motorsports Viper and the TRG Aston Martins wouldn't be allowed to compete

"Out of the six manufacturers currently represented in GTD, only Dodge and Aston Martin are not currently series partners, which requires an annual marketing spend and commitment from the automaker."

WSC.

Weathertech and Sportscar are each single words.

2016 IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Schedule:
01/29/2016 - Daytona International Speedway
03/18/2016 - Sebring International Raceway
04/30/2016 - Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
07/02/2016 - Watkins Glen International

08/20/2016 - Virginia International Raceway
09/16/2016 - Circuit of the Americas
10/01/2016 - Road Atlanta

but they're both stylized: "WeatherTech", "SportsCar". First one is ok since it is a company name, but no excuse for the retarded 2nd one. Also there's never really been an official abbreviaton for the series but people have just used different ones and e.g. "USCR" is still in use because originally the series name was announced first and only then the Tudor sponsorship.

I always used TUSC so WTSC makes most sense to me, but I think I'm going start using "IMSA". Nobody can complain about that because nostalgia.

One change right there. Lime Rock is bringing in the top tier GT cars. Now, if they only dispensed with the PC cars like they do at VIR.

Why don't they race the prototypes at VIR? It can't be for lack of space, because VIR is over 3 miles long.

And both Grand Am and ALMS raced there with their DP's and LMP1's.

Balance the schedule I think but I'm not sure.

Doesn't sound all that great, but it looks the part of a proper race car. What's this running? The 3.5L twin turbo V6?

yup, same engine as the current DP package for Ford
