Wow! that livery looks fantastic. The bright colors are sort of reminiscent of the classic Champion Audis.

Magnus has been hinting at an announcement tomorrow on their twitter page. If I was a betting man, I might be inclined to bet that will be an announcement about a PWC program.

Are they doing the SprintX races as well?

Spencer Pumpelly would be a great signing as their pro driver!

16 year old Miata/MX5 racer at Dubai (didn't catch his name) said he would be in PWC next year. Also forgotten which class. Useful info, no?

Great to see Magnus return in some context. Was hoping it would be IMSA, but nice to see a two car effort and to keep their ever-fun presence alive.

I think the young chap was hoping to be in PWC, not sure if he'd sorted a programme

That's an interesting question.

Audi seem to be a little short on fresh new factory drivers that would suit this programme.

My choice would be Mies, but having done 44 race weekends last year he's looking for a slightly smaller programme.

Is Dries Vanthoor a factory man yet?

This is good news along with Magnus.

No better way for Panoz to celebrate their 20th year
in racing than to be on the track. Good luck
Milner and James.
