With LMP2 being left behind by the factories, it could soon become once again the favourite playground for privateers.

Really though, who did Corvette drive out?
ACEMCO? A team that didn't win anything of note in GT2 either.
AVR? Nice guys, but.....
Rafanelli - in the wrong Ferrari 550..
Really, I think that's about it.
Regarding LMP2 being left behind, I think we should hold off on concluding this. Next year could look very much like this year, less of course the two Acuras that move to P2, unless they are bought by privateers. Again, we already have a number of teams sniffing around, to pick up an Acura LMP2, to pick up any number of the Porsche Spyders built, that haven't turned a wheel.... (of course with all the disclaimers as per usual about funding, and not believing it until it is on the grid... )
Corvette Racing is good, but I don't believe that the Ferrari, BMW or Porsche Factory backed teams are exactly slouches either.
