I've read the PR from ALMS. When I read the last line, I optimistically thought maybe Mazdaspeed, B-K, and some other team will make an arrangement to transfer the technology and hardware to the other team so that Mazdaspeed will continue to be in LMP2.

But, seeing the for sale ads now makes me think that Mazdaspeed is pulling out of ALMS all together.

It seems as though P2 will be headed right back to where it was a few years ago- no participants- what with Porsche probably pulling out and Acura going P1, who's left? Now, if there's truth to the Mazdaspeed P1 rumour... <_<

Autoweek has a rumor that Dyson might replace their Porsche RS Spyders for Mazdaspeed/Lola Coupes.

That would make sense. And considering how much $$ went into developing the coupe, Porsche bailing on P2 and Dyson needing equipment, it seems like a good match. Dyson has more reasons to quit than anyone, and yet he soldiers on. Good on 'im!
