Scenario for a Ferrari LMGT3 restructuration:

The Vista AF Corse team has proven unsuccessful and insufficient for representing Ferrari at the top levels of GT endurance racing. This proposal has been formulated to improve Ferrari's success.

VistaJet is owned by Thomas Flohr, the Gentleman Driver of the #54 car. Management and performance of the two cars shows that a reform is necessary. The VistaJet sponsor can be substituted with some different big names representing Ferrari customers in GT racing: Cetilar and Kessel/Blattner.

LMGT3 cars are required to have this driver structure for 3 driver teams: one bronze, one bronze/silver, and one gold/platinum.

My proposal is as following:

We replace the #21 and #54 with:

-The blue and white #74 Kessel consisting of

1. Takeshi Kimura (Bronze) (CarGuy sponsorship, worked with Kessel with the #57 GTWCE entry)

He is a Gentleman Driver and is very experienced in the 296 GT3. He is the bronze the duo needs in order to conquer WEC

1. Dustin Blattner (Silver circa 2027) (Blattner Company sponsorship)

He is the silver of the incredible #74 Kessel duo, is very consistent and talented in the 296 GT3.

1. Dennis Marschall (Platinum)

The pro of the Kessel duo, is incredibly agile and fierce, the duo won many championships, major races and lots of trophies. Dennis is also a quali expert, winning many poles in major events.

This car will be the more competitive of the two, and will push for wins, podiums and lots of points for the team.

The navy and green #47 Cetilar consisting of

1. Roberto Lacorte (Bronze) (Cetilar sponsorship)

He is a very talented Gentleman driver that have raced in Orecas with the Cetilar livery. The team is run by AF Corse too, which would make the deal easier.

1. Lilou Wadoux (Silver) (Ferrari Factory driver)

First female Ferrari factory, she races with the 296 very fiercely and has proven successful.

OR

Lorenzo Patrese (Silver)

Has raced with a Cetilar 296 in IMSA, and is pretty fast and capable.

1. Arthur Leclerc (Gold)

Charles Leclerc's younger brother, races with AF Corse 296s in GTWCE. Is very talented and competitive, will definitely push hard in the leaderboards.

This car will be a more media-centric car catching eyes with its striking navy and green livery, interesting names and definitely the results it will bring.

The remaining Ferrari factory drivers (Alessio Rovera, Francesco Castellacci, Davide Rigon, Simon Mann, François Heriau), can be spread across AF Corse, Francorchamps Motors AF Corse, Richard Mille AF Corse, and maybe Thomas Flohr too with some Vista AF Corse entries across GTWCE, ELMS, ALMS, IGTC, 24h Series etc... This scenario, combined with Ferrari hypercar drivers competing in GT, will most likely increase Ferrari's wins throughout those minor series, and maximise Ferrari's chances in WEC, and with way more colors :)

On October 26, TEAM ENEOS ROOKIE—a competitor in the Super GT GT300 class—announced that it will switch its race car to the Toyota GR GT3 Concept for the third and eighth rounds of the Super GT series, to be held from November 6–8 at Mobility Resort Motegi in Tochigi Prefecture. Although still a concept model, the GR GT3—first unveiled in December 2025—is finally set to make its competitive debut. The entry will participate as an "open entry" under special authorization.

BMW M Motorsport boss Andreas Roos has ruled out an additional Evo joker for the M Hybrid V8 next year, but hinted at possible changes for the 2028 FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship campaigns.

LMP1’s costs caused Audi and Porsche to leave, leaving Toyota as the only major entrant left. A cost cap would have reduced the runaway budgets, attracting more manufacturers and kept the category sustainable.

What if LMH basically became LMP1 with cost caps, while LMDh still became the LMDh as we know it?

I think it's cool Also it's built with an oreca chassis and I based it on genesis gmr 001

Let me know your thoughts and what you would change in the comments

I've recently been obsessed with historical WEC and IMSA cars, and I want to know if there is a place where I can watch full onboard stints such as this video (but longer):

If there is any place on the internet with 1 hour or longer historical onboard videos could you please share it? Thank you!

I've been a bit lost between all these rumours about the future of Peugeot's drivers lineup for 2027.

We now know that Shwartzmann and Quinn will join the official lineup for 2027, Quinn as technically already joined it for Barcelona and Monza.

We also know that Jean Éric Vergne is taking is seat back next year as announced at the end of the 2025 season.

With Vandoorne leaving after Fuji , there are then at least two more actual drivers that will be leaving after Monza.

Thats where the rumours comes in,

According to what I see the most around social media, Pourchaire and Jakobsen could be the most probable ? What do you think about that?

And could it be possible that a fourth driver leaves ?

In my opinion, a GT3 manufacturer should not be allowed to limit a new car to, in this case, one team in FIA WEC, one team in IMSA, one team in Super GT and an unconfirmed program in NLS, *if* there are more teams who want to race this new car.

GT3 is customer racing. If I happen to have 20 million euros, dollars or pounds to spend and I want to spend it on a GT3 program and I want to use the Toyota, I should be able to buy the Toyota if a couple of other teams have it as well.

Another example, and honestly an even better one, is Ford and their exclusivity deal with Haupt Racing Team in European series. That is not the spirit of GT3 at all.
