So where does this leave us for Sebring and beyond? My best estimates: Daytona car count 67 (18 P, 9 PC, 11 GTLM, 29 GTLM) against a car cap of 68 for that race. The car cap is also 68 for Sebring, but there's an addition and some subtractions versus the Rolex 24 grid:
P: 17 reasonably firm
1 uncertain: GAINSCO. Can the Red Dragon be replaced?
PC: 9 reasonably firm
uncertain: anything beyond that
GTLM: 10 reasonably firm (Team Falken Tire joins the party)
uncertain: 2, Aston Martin, Risi due to damage
GTD: 27 reasonably firm, presuming all damaged cars are repaired. The #72 SMP/ESM Racing and #65 Scuderia Corsa were Daytona-only entries.
So we’re looking at between 63 and 66 entries as of now. So there are spots for between two and five more cars at Sebring. Who will step up and fill out the grid? There don't appear to be any GTLM options and the GTD reserve list is depleted. So additional entries must come from the P or PC categories. Possibilities:
P: Greaves, if they found someone to rent the car for the race. 3rd Action Express? 8Star? Project Libra?
PC: 2nd BAR1 Motorsports? Level 5? Pickett Racing? JDC/Miller? 8star?
Am I missing anything?
