Additional Car Class to IMSA Rolex 24?

[R&R]

I believe that there is presently more than enough diversity in the quantity of cars and differential in performance/speeds to keep things interesting.

Thoughts??

There is enough of a speed delta and "traffic" with the 4 existing classes. Also, the Rolex kicks off a championship for the IMSA teams, I dont think an exhibition class, tossed into the mix would be positive in any way.

Like the Mustang challenge? They will be running in LeMans as part of the program.

No, Mustang Challenge is a support race, what R&R is referencing, is "stock cars" running as an additional class on track, added to GTP GTD etc. Or at least that is how I read it.

I didn't read it. That's why I have friends like you. I am looking forward to supporting Team Nick Smither

It’s exciting to see an American privateer in the hunt! Maybe he’ll need an extra set of hands to help out.

Correct. I thought I was clear, but I don’t see a good fit for extending the invitation (to LeMans) to include an entire field of NASCAR teams.
