I want to see Peugeot's car, who, when I was there last year, said they were coming but quietly decided not to come. So I'm going to the Champ Car event instead. The Acura's are interesting.

I'm just bitter that they do not have more factory teams.. I count three:
Audi, Corvette, and Spyker, and none of them have factory competition in
their own class, unless you count the Panoz PTG effort in GT2.

team running the Audi R10s (and previously the R8s) are actually from
Champion Racing, not the Audi factory directly. Then you've got the
Acuras in P2, they in all but team names are factory efforts.

It all depends on what you class as "factory", for instance a lot of the team running the Audi R10s (and previously the R8s) are actually from Champion Racing, not the Audi factory directly. Then you've got the Acuras in P2, they in all but team names are factory efforts. |
you have to consider Penske's relationship with Porsche too ;P
