Murphy the Bear reiterates what he has said earlier: no privateers in the beginning of next season. It is still unclear if Porsche/Penske will go to Le Mans with the RS Spyder.

Some out there read it and thought the Bear said that customers were hesitating because of reliability questions. He didn’t. He still thinks Porsche just might want to work the car in Penske’s hands a bit longer before turning it loose, though. It still won’t surprise us if the first of the privateers doesn’t show until after Le Mans. Does that mean that Penske – or someone – will contest Le Mans with a Porsche RS Spyder? Not necessarily. Elsewhere in the paddock at Mosport, it was offered that an extension of Penske deal makes sense if for no other reason that it would take a team moving from GT2 a season or so to come to grips with the prototype, and meantime, there are Acuras to fend off.
