    sooo '07 will be an R10 parade with fewer cars to get in their way? The Zytek shows promise , but who has what is needed to outrun the Audis?

    Both the Zytek and the Creation were quite quick at the Petit LeMans. I would say that both teams have the potential to win races.

    but I don't believe Zytek or Creation will run the full calendar in ALMS next year. so if Audi leaves, P1 will be almost completely gone

    Now all that is needed is for ALMS to get some interest from some one to go up against the Audis.Acura has upped the interest in P2 with Dysons help going to the RS's

    Porsche and Acura would need to join P1 soon then and keep P2 as a privateer class. by the end of the the year, Intersport could fold because they will be no where near as competitive with Acura and Porsche, and now that Porsche cars are becoming more reliable and Dyson coming in, Intersport and even B-K motorsports could struggle to even keep pace with the big guns and may have to leave

    The only Acura thats going to be competative is the Fernandez, the Courage has proven to be a much slower chassis than the Lola so Andretti Green and Highcroft wont be that competitive against Intersport Dyson and Penske.

    the Courage LC70 chassis was in its first year last year. I'm sure that it will be alot better this year and with factory support from Acura, it could fight with the Lolas and Porsches

    sorry but in LMS the Courage, done a very good season with an overall poduim at Istanbul if I am correct ! and Barazi Epsilon was the P2 champion there ahead of the RML MG/Lola

    so wait and see, for the Courages/Acuras in 2007

    but RML has had the Lola for awhile now, they know what it can do, the Courage LC70 was in its first year and a car is not just going to come out of firing, except for the R8 or R10.
