Le mans 2016 (hybrid, automaker, chip, nascar)

[PDD]

Next year Ford will have four Ford GT's entered with Chip Ganassi leading the group.

I am putting in my vote for retired former NASCAR champ Jeff Gordon to be driving one of those Fords.

Pretty sure Rick Hendrick/GM will not let that happen, but one can wish.

Ford will be competing in the LMGTE Pro class.

it might happen that gordon drives a ganassi ford at le mans, unless hendrick enters a car in that race.

The hybrid is saving endurance racing and they beat F1 to the money punch. The automakers get a lot more in return for their money ;so I see it growing. I actually can see more American companies returning for that reason to Lemans and all such races.
