you never know, the P1 teams may have attrition again this year and the Porsche I think can be in the top 3 overall, hell the Corvette GT1 team was 4th overall in 06, so it can happenBrian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

ALMS rules are bent over backwards to enhance the prowess of the RS spyders . Bigger airbox , bigger gas tank etc... A P1 car the Quality of the Audi may lose a race on a street course here or there , but when the spyders won last year at Road America , a long ,wide open, pure racetrack with a multitude of passing zones ? I dont think they would fare as well adhearing to the stiffer LMS rules .

It's all about selling cars...don't forget Porsche is still privately owned, they put lots of money into FI some years ago that nearly put the company under.
I think that once the wrangling with VW is over we may see P1 versions...also the new Panamera is due our soon, you never know DTM could be on the table before P1's

I thought the Carerra GT was in rumors of becoming a P1 car

The Carerra GT was designed to be a racer (P1 Car) but Porsche pulled the plug ...so instead of losing what money they had spent at the time they produced it as a road car to make some money back.

Back in the '70's it was kind of the same thing with the Alfa T33's. They would get their clocks cleaned at Le Mans, but at the tighter European circuits, the smaller, lighter Alfa T33's could beat the bigger, more powerful cars.

Interesting. How many races won Audi last year and how many - the Porsche?
Formula 1
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
