We are not even 2 full weeks into this iRacing season and we already have the first news about next season. In a recent post in the iRacing forums, the well known Greg West tells us that the GTE category will stop participating in IMSA. This will be done due to the slow death that the category is having worldwide due to the high maintenance costs to move to run with the GT3 in all series where the GTE race.
Official notes:
In an effort to better replicate the 2022 IMSA vehicle lineup, beginning with Season 1, 2022 (December build) we will be adjusting the car classes included in both the IMSA and IMSA Endurance series.
The new vehicle lineup will include 2 classes; LMP2 and GT3 (GTD). The included vehicles will be as follows:
LMP2:
- Dallara P217
GT3:
- Audi R8 LMS
- BMW M4 GT3
- Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020
- Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO
- McLaren MP4-12C GT3
- Mercedes-AMG GT3
- Porsche 911 R GT3
The 4 GTE cars that are no longer racing in this series can still be raced in the European Sprint and European Endurance Series.
