Penske's going to the Rolex Series next season and Dyson officially ended their partnership with Porsche. Looks like no one will be racing Porsche Spyders in LMP2 next season.

It seems that there is a lot of flux for teams both in the ALMS and LMS series for next year

Damn, I hope they start adding some names. The Acura/Porsche P2 battles were GREAT this year.

I'll never forget Lime Rock, the first ALMS I saw in person.

I think Porsche would like to go into LMP1, but don't want to go at the moment whilst the diesels rule supreme.

the plan looks like penske is going to Grandam for 09 w/ Porsche. And for 2010 they go back to ALMS for P1.

damn just when i thought ALMS was beginning to be like CART in the late 90's it's going down hill.

Its gonna be audi vs. acura, and then crazy gt2. actually i think it'll be the same.
