Huidige LMP regels verlengd in ALMS:
Quote:
The International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) announced today that in cooperation with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), it has extended the eligibility of all LMP cars in the American Le Mans Series.
LMP cars that were homologated under the 2003 ACO LMP900 and P675 specs, including those based on the SR specifications, have been extended effective through the end of December 2006. Those machines will compete in today's Generac 500 at Road America.
Importantly the bulletin also extends the eligibility of hybrid cars that conform to the ACO's rules in the ALMS through the end of 2007. Those cars are currently eligible in ACO competition until the end of 2006. The hybrid regulations provide a mechanism for 2003 specification cars to convert their aerodynamic package to match the 2005 specifications.
This bulletin means that cars like the Audi R8, and the Lola EX257 and B2K/40, as well as cars like the factory Zytek and others running in European competition, will be allowed to run in the American Le Mans Series next year. IMSA, the sanctioning body of the ALMS, has mandated that the cars will run based on the ACO-specified configuration for 2005. Certain specific configurations are covered in various IMSA bulletins.

Dus waarschijnlijk de Champion Audi R8's nog gewoon aan de start in 2006.
