Too much division to come to an end - I'm glad to see it before one went under. I wondered what was happening when I read that the Circuit of the Americas was negotiating for the US FIA Race that typically has been held at Sebring (& Petit). The fact that a P1 Car wasn't even in the picture at the end of todays race in Baltimore tells the story that small fields & competition in Sports Cars had deluted the landscape T.C. |

According to this article, Grand-Am (NASCAR) buys ALMS and Panoz's tracks (Atlanta and Sebring), effective 2014. For 2013, if there is an ALMS season, it will likely have no P1 class: Lola is bankrupt and Dyson can barely get enough parts to finish this season. Muscle Milk, with one year remaining on their contract with the Wirth chassis/Honda engined HPD, probably won't run without competition. As TC said above, the glue holding ALMS together after Sebring, for the past several years, has been the GT class. There'll be much said Wednesday at the Daytona press conference, and a lot a speculation about what's left unsaid. |
