Probably too early to get excited about this yet, but with the names involved I think this has a pretty good chance of coming to fruition.

I do wonder if they are just looking for sponsors, or drivers with budgets, or both? Pretty hard to believe that HPD could sell 6 of these chassis and we could see them all on track in TUSC next year.

I would imagine they will only sell 4 of them and keep the last 2 as spares. They already sold 2 to ESM right?

Duncan Dayton where art thou?!

Here is a way to early shot at an entry list for the Prototype category for TUSC 2015:

2SpeedsourceMazola
1-2GanassiFord
1-2ShankFord
1Wayne TaylorVette
1-2Action ExpressVette
1Spirit of DaytonaVette
1WhelelVette

18-starLigier

Could Oak be back? or other teams running the Ligier or Oreca or Dome?

Wrong version.....L5 ordered the LMP1 ARX-04a but then it was delayed and finally L5 closed it's doors.

Absolutely fantastic news and a great crop of drivers to choose from! Very happy for this team... also committed to the inaugural season of Formula E from 2014-15 with Franck Montagny already confirmed.

OAK Racing is here in 2014 to get potential entries for next year right? So I hope at least one team buys a Morgan LM P2.

A sub-par American sportscar championship is better for the health of global sportscar racing than not having one.

Do you think there will be any new DP entries? I personally think no. That it will be the same Corvettte and Ford teams we have this year.

No new team is going to buy a car that's worthless in 2 seasons. You can't even run them in historics.

Then why is esm and Andretti looking to buy the hpd P2s,and 8 star the oak?unless those will be grandfathered in because I haven't read anything yet implying that the arx-04b will be built to the new P2 specs.

I think for 2015 IMSA should let GTD cars carry their own customized rear wings and allow ABS/TC. This will make the class more attractive overall and to GT3 teams. I think even the Porsche GT America can have this done.

Ideas for 2015 schedule? I got this in mind:

1. Daytona 24
2. Sebring 12
3. Long Beach (P/GTLM)
4. Laguna seca (P/GTLM) (LMPC/GTD)
5. Detroit (P/LMPC)
6. Lime Rock (GTD)
7. Watkins Glen
8. Mosport (GTLM/GTD) (P/LMPC)
9. Indy (maybe split class this one? would be nice to have a stand alone weekend too)
10. COTA
11. Road America
12. VIR (GTLM/GTD)
13. Petit Le Mans

Facts:

1)They was going to order cars(they tested the new HPD P1 engine at Daytona in their ARX-03 Jan 2013)

2)But first the car was delayed to June 2014 and the ERS until 2015.

3)Behind the scenes the P1 program became a factory effort.The engine is now a Honda R&D Japan project and not HPD with Mclaren taking over the chassis.

This is one of many reason why the HPD boss stepped down.
