Well, that’s how the ACO wants to brand that class. As well it should be, I think – nobody is going to beat Audi and Peugeot at their own game and unless we see some big factory efforts in P2 (like we have in the ALMS) I think it’s the better choice.

Interesting how they feel the LMP2 class is for privateers

Although knew they’ll have a dificult year, with the Porsches, they refused the ‘jump in the dark’ (without enough finantial support from the factory, they admitted) that the Mazda engine meant, and decided to keel faithfull to the package they already knew so well.
But after three years its a natural decision, to move on and, as a portuhuese fan, i just hope they find a major sponsorship, in order to make a realstep forward and not just a change of outfit.

The lola coupe is faster, only lacking reliability at the moment (for both P1/P2) so if the engine are sorted out next year I can’t see why not going for a quicker Coupe.

pity the car won’t race on, it looked fantastic at LM and ran well for the best part of the race too. Good to see any team planning for the future though.
