So if I understand the final list of attendees there will be no one in LMP1, as Audi has pulled out, (although its unclear if the new Aston LMP1 car will come to the states to test for LeMans.)
Acura and will be the only major player in LMP2, (with maybe a Dyson Mazda entry).
GT1 will be unoccupied, (except for maybe the LISTA Maserati MC12 that shows up on occasion).
The real excitement will be in GT2, with the return of the BMW M3, the newly launched Porsche GT3 RSR and Corvette now competing with an actual Corvette, (not the Pratt and Miller beast disguised to look like a Vette) and Ferrari F430’s.
Although I am very sad to see the current M3's in white instead of team PTG colors, it is nice to see BMW back in the series. I wonder how long it will be be until Tom Milner dumps the Panoz's and finds his way back to Munich's finest.
From what I have read of the current Sebring testing, (although very early) there should be some fantastically close racing action in GT3. Thanks to SpeedTv for the Winter testing photos.
