ALMS rocks. I hope they don't screw up the rules too much to prevent good overall battles like we saw this year.
I particularly like the Porsches returning to their giant-killer ways this year. Lower power but lighter weight beating the big engine cars, feels like the 50's and 60's (but I'll defer to Bull to tell me about those days since I wasn't there...
).

Apparently Porsche and Penske have not yet signed the 2008 deal.
Also - What ever happens, the RS Spyders will not be in yellow, and Massen will not be a Penske driver.
Accura are pushing for the 825Kg rule to be applied to LMP2's (as they have a problem reaching the current 775Kg.
Porsche want it to remain the same (775Kg).

Hey guys!
While getting Mr. Roger Penske's autograph, I did ask him about going to Le Mans with Porsche next year and guess what he said to me... "well, I don't know about next year but definitely year after that!"
ENUF SAID.

It looks like the DHL sponsorship will be replaced. (this is all rumor at the moment, but it is what is being reported as the gossip circulating at Leguna Seca).
Also - I think Maasen will most probably be assigned to one of the new Spyder teams that will be racing in 2008. (Maybe LMS)
