WTR and AXR in a caddy, MSR in an acura, nature is healing.

I'm not surprised by this at all. MSR has been very successful with Acura/Honda in the past and their sports car program has been top notch for a long time.

With this it means 3 years in a row that we won't have accurate diecast to represent the grid. Not that that's TSM Models fault but it is funny

Looks like tire pressure memes are back on the menu boys.

Or we could stop and move on… but it wouldn’t be reddit without beating that dead horse into dust

Nah, this sport has no drama, so I have to work with what they give us.

I’ll never understand the need for “drama” beyond the competition itself… but to each their own I guess.

You must be fun to have a drink with.

It's called a joke. They usually bring enjoyment.

What about WEC

Acura can't stretch to it alone, Honda aren't interested.

Welcome back to IMSA, Meyer Shank!

We've been huge fans since the early NSX GT days.

I guess I'm going to be an MSR fan next year...

Sucks because they got caught cheating, I'll just keep telling myself that they're the ones that got caught. By their own sponsor at that.

Not going to lie, I'm going to miss that metallic blue paint on the Acura. I usually dislike a lot of blue on liveries, but that metallic paint looked great on that front end. It could look like a fairly dark blue to almost an e46 laguna seca type blue depending on the light. Hope they get some of that same paint on the caddy!
