I like the new lola coupes. Maybe the coupe will give BK an advantage. The coupe has a lot better aero properties than the spyder.

Very, very cool. Until there's a 90F raceday. Fast in the cool, unbearable (after all these years) in the warm.

ACO rules require air conditioning for coupes, as i recall, so i think it's probably less unbearable than in the past...

True, all closed cockpit car must have air conditioning and that includes the Mazda.

Leave the cockpits open, they look better with the old school look. The open cockpits are a signature of the ALMS. Using a closed cockpit will make the cars look like the cars of Rolex. No thanks.

what? the peugeot is a coupe, the bentley was a coupe, and all the cars in group c/imsa gtp were coupes. there were coupes long before grand-am, and open cockpits are not "old school". how long have you been watching sports car racing?...

I agree with you....the open cockpit cars look better. They have smoother lines...there is not rollover bars sticking up. The coupes are sexy. The spyders are like a cheap hooker....the coupes are like a well educated super model.

Ten years, old school? Surely you jest.
Look like GA cars? Come come now...'head buried in the sand?
If they could look anything like they did in the GTP era we would be lucky.
Oh, hey...they do, we are.

You contradict yourself, sir (madam?).
