I'm not sure I agree with that. Every race in the ALMS is live on Motors TV, plus live radio coverage from Radio LeMans. Plus, Le Mans 24 Hours which is one of the Blue Ribands of Motorsport, the WRC isn't, well not any more. That's why I feel Petter has made a mistake in turning down the Oreca drive for Le Mans. Remember there are different classes and more Manufacturers, i;e competition!Quote:

But I used to watch ALMS and the Le Mans series all the time on speedvision or speedtv as they called it. I stopped following circuit racing when Audi began to dominate everything with their R8 and R10, still there is a more competition and manufacturers than in WRC.

So Juwra is secretly a spy for the FIA ? :( Writing on the forum how bad the FIA is, in the mean time being a core member of the FIA :rotflmao:
Well that says to me that 2010 season will be hopefully only S2000 and WRC not allowed anymore. It was the first sign that Ford gave to us that their car will be ready by the beginning of 2010. Maybe they understood that they cannot fight with C4 anyway.. lets just start from clean sheet. And that news came just after Portugal when they started with upgraded engine. So, they found no point to develop the ship that is meant for drowning..Quote:

If an rally is relying on €2.5m to run, then is obviously is top heavy with management, and doesnt deserve any help. Go find a proper sponsor.Quote:
