I hope they stay. With Audi dropping, the championship is theirs with no other big LMP1 entries.

na the lmp1 acura will run, atleast that was the intention before audi dropped. the Panasonic team and i believe the highcroft team are running lmp1's n fernandez is staying lmp2. i just hope the feild doesnt dwindle again this year like it has in years past. it started to gain steam this past year.

I'm under the impression Audi doesn't want anyone outside of the factory (JOEST counts as factory) running that diesel.

^Yeah that's what it seems, and I know they won't give Champion their new car.

those guys are super secret about that clean diesel technology. Ive gone to their garage at a few races and asked questions and tried to snoop around but I still know only as much as they will publicly reveal.

I know De Ferran got a P1 car,but I havnt heard about anyone else. Highcroft did really well this year so that wouldnt be a surprise. Bet Ganassai would be pissed though.
Maybe Dyson will get a shot at p2 now.
