Yes I think they'll be there. Perhaps not run by Doran, but a Lista Dallara-Judd anyway.

Doubtful. Crawford seems to be focussing on his DSP. I believe the SR1/LMP has been pretty much abandoned.

Don't know. It all depends on the team's plans for next year; if they'll stay in ALMS they will probably run this car.

Mr. Sezionale says they want to be there but they are a small outfit so they may not do a full season.

To be honest, I doubt if we will see that car on track again after 2002.

they have had tech trouble this year; they may not pursue the de Cortanze Courage project. We'll see. I hope they can keep Peugeot support, or find another good engine deal.

The second chassis isn't actually Lammers' car; he only loaned it from the factory.

they may be doing LM only, as this year (their FIASCC outings don't really count; those were nothing more than extended test sessions). Looking for a works engine deal.

Hopefully. And maybe he'll sell one or two cars?

I doubt that very much. It's simply not a competitive car.
Maybe we'll see the R&M as well although that won't be competitive against the current frontrunning LMP machinery either.
Some cars I'd like to see in FIASCC competition (because I believe there will be a series next year) are all those European teams mentioned above, as well as all those Lola B98s and B2Ks that are currently in storage (Konrad! Kremer! Berridge post-"Michel Vaillant"!) as well as an Eventus car that doesn't break down
; the Rowan Reynards; the Rafanelli/Blieninger long-tail R&S Mk.III; maybe a privateer MG?? (alright so I'm asking too much); a couple of SR2 Pilbeams and Lolas - In other words: a solid 20 car grid every time out. And a stable schedule, please.
