Not exactly new, but I haven't heard anyone here mention it yet. Toyota is working on a hybrid LMP1 car to run first at a Spa endurance race then at 24 Hours of Le Mans. Go Toyota!

I hope it's a decent car as Peugeot has pulled the plug on their program effective immediately. Sebring will be a bore but I hope Toyota can provide Audi with some friendly competition come June... providing Audi still cleans up on track.

I'm a giant Audi fan and I don't want them to leave the sport because they don't have any competition. But I don't want them to lose either

there are quite a few new entrants to the LMP class, with Toyota and now Pescarolo entering the ring again. I like the toyota team's chances, With Alexander Wurz and Anthony Davidson on staff.

That's a sharp looking car.

Yeah i find that funny as well. As a matter of fact i believe he took part in the 2011 LeMans race, and his car was involved in the big overnight wreck with the Peugeot although he was not driving at the time.

Walrtip did run the 458 last year, though I thought it took out one of the Audis. He also ran it at Daytona this year. I think it's pretty cool that he stepped out of the Nascar box for something that involves turning right.

Yeah, Rob Kauffman his business partner (a "gentleman racer" = amateur) almost killed Mike Rockenfeller overnight at Le Mans because he didn't hold his line quite as he should have. ACO officials parked him for the rest of the race - or, being French and so polite, they "suggested" he step aside). And Waltrip has run a number of races with he, Kauffman and Rui Aguas... they did Le Mans and the Dubai 24 last year and Daytona & Sebring with an eye on Le Mans again. As Michael proved at Daytona on Thursday (wrecking all by himself coming off pit road) he may be better suited to sports cars where he can hand the wheel over to someone else after a while.

thanks for the correction stepper, i was at work and didn't have a ton of time to research/remember lol. "being French and so polite, they "suggested" he step aside" that made me laugh.

It's Mach 17rd and it should be on ESPN 3

I don't live on a college campus. I have an average internet provider. ESPN3 is very hard to come by. AND, I don't want to watch it on my computer screen. That's why I have a TV. Nor do I want to watch a cut up "replay" show the day after. ALMS, why do you hate your fans?
