Tony Roma mentioned in a recent interview that they didn't think they would go back.

Ford got their #'s with professional race car drivers and GM got theirs with engineering staff.

It doesn't really matter as most of us will never own one of those cars,,,, ( Especially the Ford )

So true that either the Ford or ZR1 X or not are out of reach for mere mortals. Yet, GM or Corvette could have seated a Pro driver of their own especially if Ford went that direction for car/driver configuration. An Antonio Garcia or other would have found time.

I suspect Verstappen would've shaved more than a few seconds off of that time, lol.

I am so glad that you stayed restrained not getting all patriotic on us and suggesting the #2 seat at Aston Martin Aramco

Well, Stroll isn't a terrible driver but he does manage to breakdown more often than not, lol. Of course Alonso on the other hand would no question lap faster than a development driver. But the development driver was no slouch as you can see in the video but not in the same class as Alonso or Verstappen, but then again few are .

You just need to look at GTD where the Pro drivers are much faster than the amateurs which are still professional drivers, just not at the same level.
