I can understand the intent behind tacking on international but other than providing the base car(s), I still see the formula as a predominately imsa product. 
LMDh (dpi 2.0) is without question a more positive relationship between the two organizations, but the concept of customer LMP2s isn’t going anywhere either. 

Just a word of note: despite DPi having “international” in its name, it is instead built to a domestic specification ontop of a globally homologated LMP2 chassis. As DPi competes nowhere but in north america, the name is a slight misnomer.
Also “publicly available” being used to describe slicks sounds weird to me, but

But... they have their own YT channel already?

No doubt any process will be energy intensive but better to reclaim what you can as opposed to writing it off I suppose. In the case of racing fuel, it is probably done at a scale that makes more commercial sense than going straight to consumer. One of the more interesting forms of reclamation I’ve come across is the

The plan for SCG is one factory car, and one customer car supported by the factory (not too dissimilar to the Aston Martin program with Prodrive)

Don’t know why this is surprising news. The LMH umbrella is a facade for what is fundamentally two distinct subsets of “hypercars” - one whose base comes from a road car, at which point the homologation becomes mandatory, and the other which is wholly based upon a bespoke racing chassis (prototype) and where race-only

Is it not a trident?

Bowler?

Blessed that Remo Ferri will occasionally run his 333SP, though about as rarely as his 599XX. Amazing cars when you get to experience them in person, though you Americans are undoubtedly far luckier with your thriving HSR series.

Meanwhile we’re still partied out from Canada day.

Nismo has increasingly embraced the extended parts catalogue year over year. It started with factory spec parts for older skylines and by the time they got to retrofitting R35 brake systems, they thought “might as well look at everything else.” Clubman Racing Spec debuted in 2014 but you can always check out Nismo

SCV12 is unrelated to the LMH program.

They won’t say it, but fundamentally this is DPi 2.0 which has been in the works prior to convergence.

It’s also not rocket science to punch in the car to Google and quickly figure out BC is short for Benjamin Chen, who also went by 8bc8 a while ago so...

I was really hoping they would continue with LMP1-L (to some extent they did) but expecting OEMs to pony up for anything beyond ConvergenceCar is wishful thinking. Unfortunately everything costs money, and even if you extend the invitations across the pond few of the teams here can afford to play without significant

Eh wouldn’t put my money on a Williams product for now. Kia/Rimac could be promising.

Its a darn shame the Rapide E is no longer on the roadmap since the Williams system did have promise.

Does that mean he’s not coming on then?

Early WC was fun to watch because of the quirky variety, but the series overall peaked right before the SRO acquisition. P&M Cadillacs, KPAX McLarens, Dyson Bentleys, AER Nissans, and a sprinkling of Porsches (RIP Effort Racing) - that was a fun season of racing. Sad to see its no longer the premiere GT3 series in
