You could be right about the major manufacturers getting cold feet. But as long as there are companys like Courage, Lola, Lister etc who have the ability to build chassis and companys like Judd, Elan, etc to make a engine and teams that are able to run the cars then LMP1 or whatever you call the fastest class in years to come, it will survive.
Not sure I buy the Audi - Porsche family connection. The companies, while being connected via family are 2 very seperate beasts. IMHO, the reason the 2000 car never saw the light of day at a race meeting was the cayanne being launched and Porsche being able to see the current class of cars was in a downward spiral, and the Audi being a very very good car.
