"We're just not seeing any firm signs of seeing a field of P2 cars for the season,” Stone said in a SPEED.com exclusive interview. “There are some teams talking about doing this or that, that might add up to two or three races, but we don't want to end up in a 2011-like situation.”

Level 5 was the first U.S.-based team to embrace the Automobile Club de l’Ouest’s cost-capped prototype platform, running unopposed in 2011 before seeing the arrival of Conquest Racing and Dempsey Racing last year.

But with both teams’ 2013 programs in jeopardy, and no other apparent full-season effort in the pipeline, Level 5’s Stone and team owner Scott Tucker made the decision to park its two HPD ARX-03bs in order to re-evaluate their long-term goals.

it's not that THEY are flaky, it's that the other teams are flaky.

I have read quite a few things about Tucker's business practices and I'll just say that even if they are half truths, he is not a great person. Investment fraud stuff.

West Racing and Alex Job Racing are joining forces to compete for the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) GT championship in 2013. The team will be known as Team West/AJR/Boardwalk Ferrari starting at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, March 16.

Bill Sweedler and Townsend Bell will pilot the Yokohama-backed No. 23 Team West/AJR/Boardwalk Ferrari 458 GT in the North American based ALMS. The duo will debut the 458 GT at Sebring where they won the GTC Class in 2012.

competition will be stiffer , im sure only competing against 3 other P2 cars will be so much easier .
but it is a boost to P2 so its a good thing.

Yeah that's true, I didn't even know tho did that well last year. But then again it's harder to follow the ALMS compared to Grand-Am. Which I hope the merger will help with that.

But moving to P2 now is probably smart to get ready for the 2014 classes. Maybe we will see them around Le Mans soon lol

ESM got a silly waiver last year and their car was very good because of it. Put drivers like Melo, Bruni in it and they would have walked the championship easily.

Front end of the BMW looks very normal. Wonder if that'll change before Sebring

Not to rain down on your viper parade, but one of the vipers think it was the 93 hit the Falken Porsche coming into turn 1 making him lose position. It was a very dirty hit imo and should've gotten penalized. But im still happy to see those vipers improving !
