7 opportunities to get points are already gone (4 opportunities at Daytona, and 3 at Sebring). In the two races left, there are only 5 points opportunities left. So, over half of the championship is done.

The Sahlen's six Hours of The Glen offer two opportunities to score points, which should allow the situation to settle a little before the final round at Road Atlanta.

Ferrari factory driver Lilou Wadoux will make her IMSA debut at the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen, returning to LMP2 (Wadoux was driving the Richard Mille Racing Team Oreca who ended 9th the WEC LMP2 Trophy for teams together with Charles Milesi and Sebastien Augier). The Daytona quartet will not be renewed but Nicklas Nielsen will still be part of a new trio as Lilou Wadoux will also share the wheel with Luis Perez Compac, the bronze driver with whom she shares the #83 Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE in the LMGTE AM WEC championship.
