Not quite 2026-specific but some big news about the future of the Ford program tonight. Their upcoming LMDh will utilize a Coyote V8 - hell yes! They’ll run an LMP2 machine in ELMS this year to build towards 2027. Interesting to note that entry will be fielded under the Proton banner.
Very fun...

Joey has won tons of races at all sorts of different tracks across a couple different generations of car and should have no problem adapting to the new format. The issue was in just how much exploited the format in his most recent title run. It’ll be much harder for anyone to Mickey Mouse their...
Daytona will be the first U.S. appearance for the famed Manthey Grello livery on the longtime Porsche team’s GTD Pro entry - will be an Endurance Cup entrant this year.
Kennedy outright admits that if someone like Mark Martin weren’t such a vocal proponent of All 36, we likely wouldn’t have a compromise that better rewards consistency. Seems like we were headed to a marginally less bastardized elimination format (i.e.: 3-3-4) otherwise.
Heim also would’ve won very comfortably by virtue of having a big lead at the reset and finishing 1st or 2nd each of the final seven races.
What this evolution of the Chase does much better than previous iterations is weight regular season performance at the reset. The biggest gap the top seed...
I’m not gonna do the math but I would assume Zilisch would’ve won last year’s title rather comfortably - maybe even clinched prior to the finale - with this methodology in place, and that’s a good outcome.
I agree, but their re-seeded points value will be so low they may as well not be there anyway. They’ll have to overcome just about a full 2-race deficit within 10 races to catch the top seed.
All things considered, this seems like a relatively healthy compromise. I look forward to seeing how it...
I was thinking the Eagles offensive inconsistency would resolve itself in the playoffs, but they just couldn’t get into a rhythm today like much of the rest of the season. Lots of skill position talent that they couldn’t maximize the abilities of.
