Presumably 2 to BK Motorsports, I've heard that one could be going to Dyson as a third car, or one to Intersport Racing.

I suspect the PWL Aston Martin is more than just 'rumor'...

I think another question to be answered here is would this be a Peterson/White Lightning or just a Dale White effort?

I thought Peterson was the more solid of the pair at the moment, but would he be allowed to use the usual livery or something just for his new team. As for it being a P2 project, that makes the most sense to test the engine since it seems to be the weak part of the Vantage project. But it seems like it will just bring more factory teams to P2, short-term, to test their future P1 engines, esp since no major chassis mods are planned for the future. It's basically free (don't have to rent the track) testing time in what could be a very similar chassis by 2011 or so. Does make Vette moving to GT2 seem a little more informed, they can develop the race engine in house and have a GT2/P2 engine ready for the 2011 rules.
Does anybody currently run a true production engine in P2 in either LMS/ALMS? |
