I think their will be plenty of exciting action on the on-track menu regardless of what happens with LMP1. There is a lot of off season shuffling going on that is not being revealed yet.... trust me, Sebring will have all the action you can handle. |
Even without the stuff that has not reached the light of day yet. There have been rule changes that will help with competition at the front in P-1. The class weight reduction; even though Audi has stated it is not going to be a problem for them to reach it they already have a problem with medium and low speed front mechanical grip and I do not see them losing weight in the back of the car or they would have already adjusted it to get more front grip. So losing the weight for Audi is not a plus in the ALMS races from what I see. And the petrol P-1's get a larger (as in more flow) air restrictor next year. Not to mention that Memo just broke the track record at Sears Pt. in the Cytosport Lola with the old engine in it, Cytosport and most likely Intersport will have the bigger AER engine next year. So to just write off the battle at the front next year is a little premature IMO. Also there should be some decent competition from across the pond for a coupla three races.
