Link? The ALMS forums are basically dead.

We have
Aston Martin
BMW
Corvette
Ferrari
Ford GT
Panoz
Porsche
Viper?

Lexus could announce again like they have in past years, DRC bought the IS-Whateveryouwanttocallthem project and ran one in Speed GT last year, who knows, maybe they'll move to ALMS.

The BBC will announce a new team with The Stig as primary driver.
They will race a different make/model each time out on the track.
Just a guess....
