Great f'in news. Shame the Grand Am event is gone but I'd much rather see Le Mans prototypes than Daytona Prototypes. Hopefully the car count will be healthy when ALMS rolls into town.
Nah I don't think they'll limit the prototypes there, the back straight at VIR isn't a whole lot longer than the back straight at Road Atlanta. Then again, the consequences of losing your brakes at the end of the back straight at VIR are much worse...
