You are right that was an entertaining season. But we have been fortunate to be a race fan recently in NASCAR the last two seasons have provided good battles. And this past season in Indy came down to the last race to decide a champion. Hoping the recent trend for races and seasons worth paying attention to doesnt end anytime soon. With ALMS and the Rolex endurance series are merging for 2014 maybe sports car racing will get as lucky as these other series.
Doesn't ALMS include LMP1 and LMP2 cars, and Rolex include Daytona Prototypes? What's gonna happen there?
Likely: the DPs will continue as will LMP2 (as it's a strong field). LMP1 cars will probably be allowed to run in LMP2 with some sort of performance hindrance (there was only like 1 or 2 full time LMP1 teams and they are switching classes for next year I believe). That is, with the exception of Sebring where Audi & Toyota will likely compete as it's Round 1 of the World Endurance Championship or whatever... don't know how that'll work.
Also, LMPC will probably continue as well because it was a healthy field too, although it falls below LMP2. It would make sense to rename them but the ALMS has always followed the ACO's class names... now that NASCAR is involved, it will probably go to hell and become a big spec series. The GT field will again be where it's at.
