The American Le Mans Series is the most difficult year of their existence behind them eleven years now and it has survived. The cause of the problems was the economic crisis that made the 2009 season to a transition and change: 2010 ALMS will be another series.
Late last year we had big dreams for the 2009 season: the third-last race of the season in Detroit announced Acura its inputs and promotion to the LMP1 class with the two teams of Gil de Ferran and Duncan Dayton (Patron Highcroft Racing). They wanted to rebel against the nine-year dominance of Audi wanted to seriously compete for the title. With a gasoline against the powerful diesel that would indeed be difficult, which it was aware, but it was worth a try. That same weekend, Corsa Motorsports also announced its entry for the 2010 season with a hybrid car in the combination Ginetta-Zytek. All seemed well.
