f360 is right .. it was Michelotto that wanted nothing to do with the 575 due to budget

For P2, having Alfa Romeo in the mix would be good. Since FIAT is looking to set up shop by '09 for building Alfas here, their entrance in both ALMS & Speed WC-TC will go a long way to making a market presence.

Satorian has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
A Maserati GT2 based on the new GT would be tasty as well.

Yeah a Ferrari LMP1 would be monster, but would they bring F1 culture with them? And would they bring "ferrari bias" with them?

Toyota has to start proving itself in F1 within the next 2 years or they're out... now imagine what even a small part of that $500million budget could do at Le Mans in 2010

In 2010 a Toyota/Lexus hybrid LMP1 coupe at Le Mans? Or a DTM project?

Well ofcourse I'd always hope to see more endurance racing as DTM doesn't interest me all that much... but having read the rumours about the new DTM rules (standard monocoque with only bodywork and engines different for different cars), I'm even more disappointed with DTM... so fingers crossed for a Le Mans program!

Funny you should say that, there have been rumours of them returning to GT2 with an M3 (and this time the engine would be legal ). Could also see what Mr Priaulx could do at LM if there was such an occurence.

According to Murphy, the official story is this -

Murphy’s still hearing that the BMW M3 program is another year away, so it may be another place-holder season for the Winchester, Virginia team.

Who's wallet will be used is the main issue, I also suspect that BMW NA has some loyalty to PTG and BMW AG does not and wants to use "You Know Who" and if you don't know, just ask yourself who runs BMW's other "tin top" operation?

After 3 championships in 3 years, I think Priaulx is "holding station". He is a BMW guy, but doesn't drive for "THE" BMW team. That could change with the announcement of a ALMS/LMS/FIA GT2 program.

Would be so great if the Tata Group had the same point of view as Prodrive and entered JAGUAR, the "ex-sister" of Aston-Martin in LMS/ALMS/Le Mans in LMP1 too(even if it's just a Jaguar engine in an existing car like Aston with Lola)...

But is it in the Indian owner of Jag' plans to race somewhere ??

BMW in LMP1 would be great! Or Mercedes, to recreate a "Le Mans disaster", fly again on the Mulsanne Straight or catch 400 km/h so that the Mulsanne would de re-devided in even smaller pieces :P Seriously, I'd like to see Mercedes back in sportscar racing. Porsche LMP1 would be great, Ferrari, Jaguar, Toyota, Nissan... all the traditionals

That YOU would say that! I'm going to faint!!!! Unfortunately Mr. Luca Cordero di Montezemolo has dictated that the Ferrari brand is an F1-only brand (except for privateers using GT cars) hence his ACO-deflected project (the MC12) was branded Maserati. If we EVER see a Ferrari proto it will be labelled a Mazza.
