"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 ???
