However, the Valkyrie has the best engine sound because of the V12 engine. Proud to see Kevin Magnussen as another ex-F1 driver to race in both IMSA and WEC and seeing Jenson Button in Cadillac.

I know its been said a million times but it's worth repeating here: One of the best things about the WEC and IMSA is the technical variety of the cars. Many of us are just as interested in the cars as in the teams and drivers, if not more so. It _used_ to be something that also attracted me to F1 but now with all the cars there being so similar, with virtually a spec engine, and rules mandating crap tires, DRS, etc. I've long since been done with it.

I must admit that I don't follow WEC or IMSA, but I would be keeping a close eye on Aston for no other reason than the nature of their entance into the series. Aston's previous modern ventures into the top class of Le Mans racing have been, lets just say lackluster, so when the new hypercar class was announced everyone was a bit apprehensive about Aston saying they would enter the Valkyrie. And they would be right, Aston pulled out. But then the first year of the hypercar class actually happened, and what do you know all of a sudden Aston are joining the grid once again, with a car that they have been developing for years. I think they know exactly what performance they will be getting from their car and are no longer worried that it might embarrass them on the racing stage, and possibly even be up there for the wins. I'm not usually a betting man but I have put £5 on them taking home some glory this year.

Primarily because they don't want to.

@@limpetarch98k GTP and Hypercar are the same convergence of specs. The car isn't the issue. It's entirely possible for Toyota to compete with the GR010, as is, by IMSA's own rules. The issue is down to a split, Toyota would like to just one-and-done one of the IMSA races (again, likely Daytona24). While IMSA tend to want manufacturers for the season as a whole, and at the very least for the Endurance Cup rounds. They don't have to build a new car, Aston didn't (modified from the road/track car, but the Valkyrie is still the Valkyrie). The car spec has nothing to do with Toyota's lack of motivation for an IMSA campaign.
