Around the World in Motorsports: Sept. 27

Will Bamber claimed to SportsCar365.com that the whole situation was a misunderstanding and that all the charges have been dropped. The IMSA team will be unaffected by the situation. It will now simply be known as Team Hardpoint and we at Frontstretch will make that change as well (we previously referred to the team as Team Hardpoint/EBM).
