GG has sounded optimistic on Ford on TWISC. Sportscar365 podcast has not. I hope GG is right.

I really think Ford will be there. After the success of the GT program, they now have an easy path to try and win overall at Le Mans. They’re going to try their hand at that for sure.

They won’t have any chance to win at Le Mans overall in LMDH. They’d have to build their own LMH car to have a chance at that.

Are the two classes not going to be BoP'd? I'm pretty sure that's why it's called joint regulations.

Oh they’ll try, but it’s going to be as bad as when IMSA tried bogging down the DPi’s so the LMP2 teams could try to play catch-up all race or like trying to hold the Toyota’s back in LMP1 to keep the customer teams close. It simply doesn’t work. An in house built chassis is going to be vastly superior to the spec nonsense LMDH will be using and I’ll call it right now that they won’t stand a chance. They’ll I give it a year of joint racing before they realize LMDH just isn’t on the same level as LMH and separate the classes like they should be already.
