Has Doran gone back to Grand Am for good?
I noticed on the G/A site that Doran Lista will be running the remaining races with their Toyota/Doran. Would this eliminate their Dallara/Judd in the ALMS? On occasion, that car was reasonably quick, though not hardly an Audi or Dyson beater on speed.
I will miss that Dallara, its a shame its final race might have been ploying into the back of Johnny Herbert's Audi. |

Yes.
They would like to run two Toyota powered cars in G/A next year. |

Regrettably, that's quite possible.
It has been ventilated that like Doran's budget needed additional funding for a continuation of their ALMS campaign, and the money is not coming. |

Maybe because they are spending the money on the DP. They aren't trying to sell Oreca-Dallara-Judds, the are out to sell Doran DPs.

A real shame : the car was great, and who will enter a Dallara/Judd now, if not Oreca and Doran ?

The Dallara wasn't supposed to run here in 04' anyway. Fredy wanted to run the car in Europe with the LMES. Perhaps that has changed, but Doran certainly was to be expected to find a way to sell the cars he is building.

Thank Johnny Herbert and IMSA's lack of action.
