I wonder if maybe Audi could show up at Interlagos, especially if the ACO is trying hard to get competitors?

Let's hope so, it would be nice to see Audi going head to head with the Peugeots. Whilst factory involvement seems to be out of the question over here in the LMS at the moment I wonder though how long it will be until we see a R10 in customer hands? This seemingly is the best chance we have at the moment of seeing the R10 racing in the LMS.

Why wouldn't Peugeot go to Interlagos?

Because they'll have already won the championship by then, so why go? Others might be thinking along the same lines which maybe the reason why the ACO in now trying to get ALMS & JLMS cars to show up...

It's about time Audi started supplying customer cars, I appreciate what they've done for the sport but it's time they started putting more cars on the grid. Porsche are supplying plenty od RS Spyders, even Peugeot have announced customer cars will be availalbe. Let's not forget Audi supply almost a dozen factory backed cars to the DTM in order to keep that series afloat. |

What is this news now that Swiss Spirit apparently has a problem with the ROC, whoever they are?
Also apparently Phoenix Racing will take over the Lola-Audi? |

ROC = Racing Organisation Course
This is a French team owned by Fred Stadler and running the Swiss Spirit car. He has close links with VAG. The team took victory in LMP675 class with a VW powered Reynard at LM in 2002. Phoenix Racing is running two Audis in DTM. Last edited by FIRE; 3 Aug 2007 at 19:06. |

Phoenix is running two factory Audi cars in DTM so I think it makes no difference. Who is owning the "Swiss Spirit" brand? Is it Deletraz? |

(I read too fast, obviously Porsche will not tolerate increased in-house competition) |

In the meantime, some other LMP1 changes....
Swiss Spirit is back on the entry list in Spa...(doubtful though) Racing for Holland is gone (and is unlikely to re-enter the Dome again) |

I looked it up on the official homepage, but given the appearant lack of effort the ACO puts into that homepage, the planetlemans list might just be the more acurate.

Our list wasn't accurate. Had not had the time to upload the correct version until now.
