"Gil has been struggling to cope with all the demands that come with running a business, plus those of being a primary driver and assisting with the development of the new ARX-02a," said Clarke.
"I believe I can help Gil and the team by removing a portion of the workload while bringing more than 27 years of Honda corporate experience.

Looks a bit less "heavy" than the R10. I'd like to see it person before saying too much, but the rear sidepods remind me of the Acura P1.
With two Audis, two Peugeots, and two Acura P1 cars at Sebring, i should really go, it should be the race of the year.

- The wing mounts look very similar to those on the Acura LMP1.
- The intake snorkels have been mounted farther forward and canted outward. This reminds me of what Peugeot did on its cars at Le Mans last year. I wonder if this is for power increase (catching the air over those gill surfaces), or aero efficiency, or something else entirely.
- The wing mounted LED's are clever.
Yep, can't wait till Sebring!

Asian Le Mans Series dates announced
Le Mans organiser the ACO has confirmed that its new Asian Le Mans Series will launch this winter, with a pair of double-header events at Okayama and Shanghai.
Each meeting will consist of two three-hour races, with the first rounds sharing the bill with the World Touring Car Championship at sometime Pacific Grand Prix venue Okayama in Japan on 30 October and 1 November. The Asian LMS then moves to Chinese GP track Shanghai for another two races a week later.
The ACO will also provide "preferential travel conditions" for ten Le Mans Series teams and ten from the American Le Mans Series, plus four squads from Japan and China, in a bid to get a strong mix of established sportscar squads and local outfits for the races.
The champions from all four classes of the Asian series will receive invitations to the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours.
Entries for the Asian LMS open today, with a final entry list set to be announced at the end of April.
