Title: Another new LMP1 entrant?

New entrants can only be good for the sport.  If we end up with 2 X Toyota, 3 X Audi, 2-3 X Porsche, 2 X Rebllion, 1 X Strakka and who knows, maybe an LMP1 Lotus programme?  then LMP1 will be looking seriously interesting again....

I wonder what's causing this run of new entrants?  maybe less geographical challenges by not having the programme including the USA?

I am officially excited about the future of sportscar racing.

With you there Brad!
Oreca are building a NEW 2014 car for Rebellion, Oak with a new LMP1 car next year and Dome as well. Le Mans aside, the WEC next year will be a must-see. Expect to see a Bentley Continental next year as well in FIA GT3. Can you imagine?
I'm also looking forward this year to see Vipers try to nudge the Corvettes.

Hope they do something with the looks of the Lotus i.m.h.o that is one butt ugly car even in black and gold :o
