"Project LMP1: Acura's Next Challenge" on Speed Channel
An hour long segment featuring Acura's 2009 P1 contender is now playing on Speed. For anyone wanting to see it, it'll replay again on 3/19 at 8PM Eastern and several more times on 3/20 and 3/21.
The most interesting thing thus far is that the front wheels and tires are the same size as the rears.
I'm going to go way out on a limb and predict that Acura will win some P1 races in this, their first year in the category. :"Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

I expect Acura to win all P1 ALMS races in 2009 except for Sebring, Petit, and Laguna

I hope that it wins as many races as possible, and I hope that Gil de Ferran will become LMP 1 champion
A question to the knowledgeable fans. Is Acura going to race at Le Mans and if no, why?Formula 1

I'm excited about the P1 war as well . Great yardstick for the year . I think I'm just as jazzed about P2 and GT2 . I've become a huge Dyson fan , and I think the Lola coupe is dead sexy . They got ripped off by Porsche last year and I would like to see them with a few class wins this year . GT2 has me excited about the also rans (Panos , the Ford GT , the Viper , and the M3's as apposed to the teams with the Porsche and Ferrari backing)Its almost like a GT3 class in the GT2 class . ps ... I would love to see Clint Field shock the world and get on the podium with that cool old Lola . He made a pass of both race leading RS Spyders on a re-start at Road America that was a thing of bueaty . I'll probably have to wait for the next race for that wish due to the hard hitting europeans in the field , but one can dream big!!!!

As much as I like Acura,I dont think they well do much this year,during the show I think they had too many issues to correct.But it was a good show to see the behind the scenes on a race team and what it takes to run it.

I use this thread to unfortuneately bring bad news in Le Mans/ALMS world: Highcroft Racing and HPD...it's over !!!!
After so many successful seasons in LMP2, a nice start in LMP1 this year(12h of Sebring)...finally they won't be coming to Le Mans 2011 and they simply stop
Press release on http://www.highcroftracing.com/
I'm afraid HONDA LMP1 program comes to an end too, as Highcroft was their official developpment team...
What will do David Brabham and Marino Franchitti now ???
What?
What's the first thing to come to...
