This is probably the best class to keep an eye out for if you dislike BoP but still want to watch endurance racing.

That finish in the 2023 Daytona 24H with James Allen edging out Ben Hanley by 0.016s will forever be iconic.

LMP2 is a class that deserves more recognition than what it has in my opinion. I love the sound of the Gibson GK428 4.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine. I’m glad that LMP2 is growing

just a little correction: the LMDh cars were originally going to be based on the next gen LMP2 Chassis. However the boffins at the ACO have changed their minds now and gone for a clean slate in terms of the next regulations for LMP2 so that is no longer the case. Other than that, love the content!

Does the driver who wins the top Bronze award go to Le Mans in the car from IMSA, or a separate team?

Just getting into sports car racing, a lot thanks to your content, but I don’t understand the appeal for this class. For me the lack or manufacturers is the problem.

What's kind of sad, is I've read that the LMP2 cars are actually BOP'd against the Hypercars, because in raw form they would be faster...and we can't have that, can we?

I would not cry if lmp2 went away from weather tech series. Gtp and gtd grid sizes are sufficient
