Audi Racer has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

Its a good possibility. Dunlop might try to woo them with promise of free tires in order to be affiliated with Porsche.

And considering Porsche doesn;t have a "factory" team in GT2 they don;t have to worry about being affiliated with one manufacturer in Gt2 and another LMP1.

I suspect Porsche will get alot of offers from the various tire maunfacturers but they might choose the tried and true michelins.
