Well that's quite interesting. Even though they aren't all that competitive anymore, I'm still glad to see Potter sticking around.

That makes, what, four NSX now for 2021? It'll be interesting to see who's full season, enduro and sprint.

Interesting, didn't know that was official.

I don’t think it’s official official yet, but they have purchased two chassis.

That'll be interesting, no one but MSR really got those cars to perform over here.

Don’t forget Realtime would come back IMSA from GT World.

Assuming Lally sticks with Potter, he already has a full season of experience in the NSX too (albeit not the Evo package, but he and Kat did win a few races in the that chassis’s pilot season in the 93 car).

MIA may enter a 720S in GTD next year.

Really cool to see GT4 teams stepping up into GT3 and itll be interesting to see if any keep their GT4 setup as well to double-dip the team during the weekend.

Woah. Good to see them sticking around, certainly a good chassis. Really seems like GTD is going to be stout in 2021.

Very surprised they didnt extend with lambo and grasser

u/dannytr1 Black Swan Racing 911 GT3 #540 Nov 21 '20

Grasser wants to win now.. and I'm not sure magnus is in that type of business. We love them, but we have to be real.
