Filipe Albuquerque doesn’t see Acura’s exit as “downfall” for IMSA’s GTP class

IMSA front-runner Filipe Albuquerque is confident about the future of endurance racing, arguing Acura’s decision to suspend its LMDh programme doesn’t mark the “downfall” of the GTP class.

Honda’s luxury car brand will halt its factory participation with the Acura ARX-06 at the end of the current IMSA season, nine years after it returned to prototype racing in what was then known as the DPi class.
