Highcroft/HPD going to LMP1 / Marco Werner?

[colt513]

So I was reading over the new regs for the 2011 season, and it seems like the current LMP2 cars would be eligible to race as LMP1's next season. Is this true?

If so, would it make sense for HPD/Highcroft to go to le mans in 2011 as an LMP1 entry, since HPD and highcroft have both expressed the desire to win the race overall.

I think this would be great becuase I have been an HPD fan since they introduced the arx 01.

I also read this interview with Marco Werner. http://www.motorsport-total.com/mehr..._10061607.html (its in german, but you can get it translated at translate.google.com.

It alludes to the fact that Werner could get a drive in a second car with highcroft.

I think it would be awesome if Werner becomes a works HPD driver and takes the trophy to honda next year.

All just speculation for now. But please clarify the new regs for me.

Thanks!
