That's a great move for Scott at his age. That's what Dario should have (traitor!)

I think he can still be competitive - he did well with IRL when he had a decent car.

Top flight drivers and a top tier car.

I'd like to see Highcroft take the fight to the Porsche Spyders full time this year. Maybe even squeak out a win at Limerock where the more nimble LMP2 cars can really show their stuff.

What ever happened with Rahal-Letterman's lawsuit dealing with Sharp and Patron leaving?

I can't find any updates on that - all news seems to be dated Nov 07.

I did find a funny site referring to Dario as Mr Judd

This was from an article 12/21/07 and likely nothing has happened since, court can be slow...

"Rahal can't discuss the situation with Sharp pending litigation..."

I liked the simple Highcroft livery from lastyear, the Patron one sure is loud. Sharp has some sportscar credentials, should be a good partner to Brabs.
