Is Renault affiliated with Peugeot? Or just Nissan partnership? Why would they be in the running for P1 if Nissan is already there? Same with Porsche and Audi.

Sorry, you are right about Nissan/Renault. But the Porsche C.E.O said when asked about a possible LMP1 campaign that the Audi/Porsche conflict was becoming less of an issue.

yet there is still no word on any porsche Le mans program...words made by executives and PR staff, usualy are not worth the wind they are carried by, that is true even if a porsche CEO says it, some would say even more so.

Thought Theissen had confirmed during Le Mans that most the budget would be going towards the DTM project? Would be surprised if that was the case, and I view it as good and bad news. Good that it's another manufacturer that shoud be capable of victory, but bad because they'd be using boring diesel engines! Motorsport needs to be loud!

Hey maybe Ford Dodge or Chevy can help with that! There's nothing quiet about their diesels, though they're truck engines I speak of.

I really cant see why bmw, cant do both. Audi does. Maybe there budget isn't as big.
I am pretty sure Ferrari wont be doing any factory lmp project as long as f1 is around. |

Has been the "consensus" like since 2007/2008. I'm usually overly optimistic but this I believe when I see it.

The name is pronounced [pøˈʒo] in French, but is frequently mispronounced /ˈpɝːʒoʊ/ (pur-zhoh) in the UK.

Endurance Sportcars tweeting that there will be big(ish) changes to who's who in LMP1. They go on to tweet that they are not talking about Japanese Factory entries - this is European Factory entries.

Interesting. Maybe the BMW rumours were true then. But as I said before, I'd be surprised.
Wouldn't be the first time though. |

Tweeted from Endurance Sportscars:
As for the factory rumour, speculation etc as to who we heard last weekend would be coming into #LMP1 all we can say right now is this...It will be a change - but technically - no change. Sorry we can't say anymore than that right now. |
