Which new Manufacturer would you like to see most in P1
Simple question and not meant to be a rumours thread - but putting logic and likeliness aside, which manufacturers would you most like to see build and race a P1.

Mine would be Maserati

Maserati or Alfa Romeo would be nice (FIAT group). They do have a good racing heritage and an LMP1 would be great to see. I also hope the Lotus or Kodewa does well. I really want to see Aston Martin back in LMP1 and Nissan/Honda.

I'd love to see Mclaren, Honda, BMW, Mercedes or Renault in LMP1 but strangely I'd quite like to see Subaru. I imagine a 555 liveried LMP car would look pretty awesome.

Well Bentley or Jaguar would be my absolute dream but reality means that perhaps another team from the east with a real investment would be more practical so lets hope they decide to give it a commitment that results in a competative car rather than a half hearted effort

Full Factory teams from Honda, Nissan, Mercedes, BMW. Sadly, Alfa seems a pipe dream, as the Fiat group have put all their Motorsport eggs in the Ferrari F1 basket.

However, whoever joins, let us hope they do it properly – nothing worse than seeing a half baked Motorsport programme.

As I said in the rumours thread I would literally take ANYONE.

But that said the return of Jaguar would be special I think.

The thing that would probably do the most good would be a return of the Ford vs Ferrari rivalry.

Ferrari gets my vote.

It'll never happen though as long as F1 exists-or in the case of the 333, someone comes a calling to Maranello with a big sack of cash..

Any privateer chassis mated to those 2014 F1 engines and showing up those big manufacturer teams.

What we also need is a return of the iconic brands
2014 Lancia-Ferrari LC3? 2014 Sauber-Mercedes C293?

I don't really have a particular favourite (there aren't any posters on my bedroom walls!) and at the moment any major name would be a welcome addition to P1, so long as it's not a half hearted one-off appearance to celebrate an anniversary of some sort.

Peugeot was a great loss when they pulled out early last year, Italy needs a major representive (Alfa or Maserati?), Japan is becoming more involved lately which is brilliant but the US market is where I probably would've expected more activity in recent years, so that's been something of a disappointment to me.

All three major US manufacturers (GM, Ford, Chrysler) were hit really hard by the 2008 financial crisis. GM retired more than half its brands, Chrysler was sold (twice) and Ford had its worst financial loss in the company's history. I think motorsport (especially LMP1 competition) was the least of their worries.

I'd love to think Delage could come back. They made such gorgeous, and innovative, cars back in their day...
And then there's BENTLEY...
Much as I like beating my local drum, I don't see Gaydon signing off a Banbury built P1 for a while!
So I'll be happy with Nissan in LMP1, stepping up from P2, and Ford.
