I agree that is something to look forward to! Now if you can get Noble and TVR into Alms it will be even better.

Awesome! Wonder how the P2 P-car will compare against the P1 Audi R8?

It's good to see Porsche developing a new race motor. As good as the GT1 motor is there's no denying it's getting old. Looking forward to a GT3 or Cayman RS with a 3.4 8cyl dry sump racing motor.

would love to see David Donohue, but that's just because his dad was my all time favourite, and I still miss him. It would give me goosebumps to see a Donohue driving a Penske Porsche again...
