I'm still a bit confused regs wise.. So, this 963 that is finally going somewhere in IMSA, is that 100% the same car as the one getting killed by Toyota and Ferrari in WEC ? (if so what does that say about IMSA cars?)

They're identical, although BoP varies between IMSA and WEC. Toyota is an outlier because they've been running a Hypercar for over 3 years now and have a massive head start. Ferrari is Ferrari. Toyota, Ferrari, and Peugeot built their own cars from the ground up, those are true Hypercars (although they use the term for all the cars now). And they could run those cars in IMSA as well. On the other side of things, Peugeot is a true Hypercar and is getting smoked by the 'IMSA spec' cars. 'IMSA spec' cars use a spec chassis from one of 3 or 4 manufacturers. The BoP is supposed to equalize everybody. I think next year is going to be extremely competitive. Porsche is coming on very strong in WEC and obviously IMSA.
