There's some conflicting news on this.
I've read that the Solaroli Motorsports Spyder will not be ready in time for Lime Rock.
We'll have to watch out for further developments.

May the Gods of Zuffenhausen smile upon you!

Good to see the 997's win at Le Mans:


A quick look at the positions hour by hour will show that the Porsches lead the first 4 hours of racing, the first hour being lead by the IMSA Performance...

I'm not 100% sure about this.

Hartmut Kristen has said that Porsche will not return to Le Mans unless it is able to compete for overall victory.
They are unable to do this with their P2, so if...

New rules for 2010 and P2 rules for 2008.

.....and therefore protecting a certain French manufacturer from possible humiliation.

This is what this 5% reduction is all about!

It's just being cloaked under a series of subterfuges to...

In absolute agreement with you.
Just a small correction: the Porsche was only 2 thousands of a second slower than Audi's best lap.

The P2 cars in ALMS can't really compete with P1.
The ACO clearly states that a 1,5% time gap will be enforced (with required modifications at the end of the year if not upheald) between P1 and P2...

Sportscar racing has a chance for a complete world...

All this is a direct consequence of having 4 seperate and independant classes racing in one race but not really racing against each other. It may make for good marketing (to try and get more fans),...

I completly agree with you.
I think that the problem is that due to the almost 30% stake that Porsche owns in VAG, I don't think they will develop a car to compete against Audi whilst the deisel...

I did'nt interpret his explanation as wanting to have the right to be faster than Audi, but rather a simple explanation on their choice to move down to P2.
Yes, I agree that would not be able to...

From what I've read, the new fuel tank capacity measures are not enough to wipe out the rather substantial advantage.
I think it was Dyson's chief engineer that explained that even with the new fuel...

I agree that they should enter LMP1 if they want to be consitantly winning the overall classification.
The problem is that the LMP1 rule heavely favors deisel engines, and no non-diesel manufacturer...

I've just had a marathon session on another forum concerning the ACO's alterations to the rules for 2007.
As far as I am concerned, this new contrived racing (not allowing the smaller prototype...
