Well, they're not exactly benching him. Bill is still going to race in the NAEC races. Sad to see him out of the full time line-up, but it's perfectly understandable. Over 400 race starts! I'm betting he lobbied pretty hard to stay in it for the NAEC races, because they're (BMW/RLL) really close to setting some major milestones for most winning team in North America... er something (can't remember the specifics).

I just hope BMW/RLL can put together a better 1st year run with the M8 GTE than they did with the M6 GTLM. I would expect that they can, considering the similarities between the cars. The jump from the Z4 GTLM to the M6 GTLM was a big upheaval. This should be more of an evolution.

What I really hope for is to see Sims and Tomczyk in the same car. IMO, they represent the top of the talent pool BMW have fielded in North America.
