You'd think, but I don't think they'll be up to speed for a while.

Default There are talks Autocon picking up Dyson's old cars, again.

Also, maybe Creation or Zytek if they can commit to a full season which would be great.

Default I thought the 908 is staying in LMS & not coming over to ALMS?

They would compete together in the 24h Le Mans, but that would be about it.

Yup, the 908 isn't even running the 12 Hours, although it will do some testing at Sebring

Default At the moment I believe there literally is no competition. Last time I checked, there were no

priveteers confirmed as entrants for the 07 season in LMP1. The Dyson Lolas are for sale, and hopefully they will stay on this side of the pond. I have also heard talk of Creation and/or Zytek running here full time next year, but nothing has been confirmed, to my knowledge. If either of those are on form, then I could see them giving a solid race at quite a few tracks. Both teams had cars at Laguna that I believe could have won that day.

On the bright side, P2 is looking like it will have a great year and maybe upwards of a dozen entries!
