It is a VERY good drawing. I would love if LMP's looked like that in the future. The headlights are quite big though, and there isn't any fender holes, plus the 'wings' connecting the engine cover to the rear fenders probably wouldn't be allowed. A good drawing though.

Yeah I have zero confidence that they will go down the P1 route. Shame - but at least they are impacting on the sportscar arena I suppose. Walking around Le Mans and seeing their stand/branding you'd think they were racing for the overall win.

At least we know who to lobby on twitter - new Director of Global Motorsports Darren Cox.

Well that practically also rules out a LMP project. I do however find it strange that Honda couldn't find the budget to a LMP1 program, but there is possibility of them finding the budget for a F1 engine program! If it comes to a new Honda F1 program, I will lose some of my respect for Honda! And i just noticed. Shouldn't this thread get re-branded? . ILMC is now WEC. 2011 is a long time ago, so is 2012 soon and all rumors we currently talk about is 2013-2014 stuff. |

How about taking the years off all together? This can now be a straight rumours thread, no need to worry about time frame. |

Indeed for the mass media, it's not strange as not many expected them to make a LMP1 program. (i think that's what you meant with you "tree"), but for us, and likely Wirth and the LM part of HPD. |

Damn, 16 years old and already a national sportscar champion! I hope he finds a good proto seat somewhere in the world. |

Couple of bits in Autosport today:
Most significantly (and a real boost to the WEC) is that Aston Martin are looking at significantly expanding their GT programme next year and could run as many as four cars. Possibly two Pro/two Am cars - one rumoured for Andrew Howard/Beechdean. Also confirmation from Nick Wirth that next season's HPD P1 will be significantly upgraded to incorporate the wide fronts. It will look quite a bit different aero-wise. They have begun design work on a '14 car but it still ultimately needs sign-off from HPD. |

Hopefully Aston Martin can improve their fuel efficiency. They'll need it! 2 cars is great if true. Looks like HPD is tired of Rebellion being best privateer.

Interesting to see Sebastien Loeb campaigning a McLaren at Paul Ricard this weekend in GT Tour.
http://www.endurance-info.com/versio...nce-14182.html Will be interesting to see what his team does going forward. They are clearly evaluating machinery. |

Kamui Kobayashi might join Toyota Hybrid endurance program if he does not find a seat in F1 next year?
