What's left?. I hate to see real road racing go the way of NASCAR. I'm afraid that the Petit LeMans race on Oct 4 might be the last big event. Any thoughts on this from the learned or informed.  |
I think the future looks great. GT2 will be awesome with BMW, Corvette, and maybe Audi (2010) joining and already ultra-competitive class. LMP2 will still be good, Penske hasn't confirmed or denied participation and there will still be 2 Acuras, Dyson Spyders, BK Mazda, etc. LMP1 will finally have some real Audi competition with Acura fielding 2 teams and everyone else returning. Other than GT1 things look great, word is that there will only be one GT class in 2010.
