    is it 100% confirmed that they're pulling the plug on the GTE/GTLM team? Z4 being replaced by M6 for GT3, but haven't heard confirmation on the GTE/GTLM side.

    axing that program would free up a big chunk of money, but not nearly enough to run P1.

    Would love to see it. At some point, would love to see Ferrari there too, but budget for both F1 and LMP would be crushing.

    I would love to see them back. My favourite LM team in LP1 category.

    The news about BMW's interest in a P1 entry is interesting as they've stated (and continue
    to demonstrate) their interest in GT racing.

    But, the march of technology that is emerging from P1 may be too tempting for them as
    they're likely eager to prove their own hybrid systems such as on the i8 road going car.

    Hope BMW decides to return to prototype racing. Would be another notch on the WEC belt.

    AUDI, Porsche and BMW ?

    Can we expect 3 German car manufacturers in endurance?

    At least, WEC seems more attractive than F1.
