Well if we don't get two Audis, at least we got something to replace it, but of course it'd be nice to have a minimum 6 car P1 field by mid-season. Whenever Cytosport returns.

I think 4 is a realistic minimum for the full season. Then we can hope for a second Audi and Cytosport mid-season to make 6.
1 Audi
1 ECO Racing
1 Autocon
1 1ntersport | |

I wouldn't rule out Arena (more like I am holding out hope  ) for later in the season either. If some of the LMS teams come over on the way to Shanghai we could see some nice prototype counts for both classes. Also, on another forum it sounds like the Eco effort may be 2 cars and not 1 with a spare? Perhaps they could have 2 for some ALMS races? | |

In DSC's blurb about LG being on Kuhmos, it says:
"There is an abundance of tyre manufacturers in the ALMS this season, with Kumho, Hankook, Michelin, Falken and Yokohama expected to be represented in GT2 alone."
To my knowledge, no one is running on Falkens. Could we be getting another suprise entry? Or perhaps Farnbacher Loles will run them or something. Anybody know anything about Falken being in the series? | |

If you go here.. Falken Tire and mouse over "Team Falken" it says "ALMS (coming soon)".
So.. uh.. yeah. Not sure of the entry. 
EDIT: Just noticed if you click on "Team Falken"(I'm slow, okay!) Doesn't give any more info, but it has a dropdown picture saying "Falken Tire ALMS Team Coming Soon." So maybe an effort run by them?

Well back to the subject of ECO Racing. Simon Wright has said that they, will be/plan on, running 2 cars in the ALMS this season but just didn't have the time to get both fully ready (car?, drivers?) for Sebring.

Why not continue testing in a competitive race field against maybe one Audi for the whole season. They might even be able to sell chassis to Intersport or some other new race team wanting to join in the fun.
Just my thoughts/wishes/dreams lol | |

Just my thoughts/wishes/dreams lol | It's all about the benjamins... Why spend all the money to run a car that they know they can't win with unless the Audi/Peugeot doesn't finish. It's a win, but I'd guess not a very gratifying one.
I somehow doubt Intersport will be purchasing another Reynard P675 based LMP... | |
