Going back to a P2 car? They spent all that money developping the P1 rig. The ACO would have been forced to keep closing the gap to the diesels if manufacturers were getting interested in P1. I was really looking forward to an Acura/Aston matchup at Sebring in P1 (I think Aston is coming). Hopefully DeFerran keeps a P1 car. Acura is just out of sync with this news. Going back to a P2 car?

It's legit this time.

In all seriousness though this seems like another repeat of the penske porsches pretty well loop holing their way to victory after victory by going p2 instead, thus dominating even the p1 cars. p1 just gets slower and slower every year, according to the rules anyway. If you're gonna make them slower, then at least make the races longer I don't wanna see 1.5 hrs of 150 kmh I wanna see 1.5 hours of 300 kmh or several hours of 200. less sense as the seasons go by. glad to see the manufacturers are still maintaining their intelligence by exposing loop holes in the ever shoddy aco/fia system and actually using lower classes to beat out the big guns. I mean c'mon a p2 winning sebring overall? what gives. before you know it the proto classes will need to be flip flopped, as all the works will be at p2 and all the privateers in p1 getting their butts handed to them. ACO/FIA please change your rules to at least make sense, screw satisfying the fans at this point that's much too high an expectation, I just want rules that make a lick of sense!
