Also excited about Honda and Lexus coming into the GTD category with factory-backed NSX's and RCF's. That should bring more diversity to the field.
My only wish is that we could see even more diversity with other GT3 manufacturers such as Mercedes, McLaren, and Bentley. And I also wish BMW was more competitive in GTLM, but I'm patient and willing to wait and see what they bring in 2018.

I was slow to warm to the DP's too. Now that I'm finally fully in love with them, they're gone, haha
I'm a little bit curious/concerned about the future of GTLM. GTD has flourished under GT3 rules. GTLM adopts GTE tech regs almost wholesale (they literally use the ACO GTE tech spec PDF pages inserted in to their own document), but it hasn't blown up like GTD. The Ford GT program was a welcome addition of two cars, but Ferrari only fields one car in GTLM. I wonder if this will give other manufacturers any ideas.
