No. Although it could be very close to it, depending on next years competition or lack thereof.

if there are no new comers to ALMS GT1, why not moving to Europe and do some LMS and FIA GT races ? after all Prodrive/AMR, from Europe did many american trips !

certainly, what WRX says is right; they should have done LMS/Spa 24 this year. And certainly should next year. What is left to gain in ALMS?
But this is discussed elsewhere.

O.K.
While I cannot speak for Corvette racing; Lets take into account a few things. And please do not make this an us vs. you, as it is not! The United States is Corvettes largest market. We have heard from S. Wesoloski that they also take their customer programs as serious as possible so as to not effect either adversely. link Also it has been observed that LAA had very robust support from P&M this year, up to and including driver support (which included Spa). And it has been suggested that if the ALMS program is not a full time effort in 08 that LAA will be basically a semi-works team with both Ollies in a second C6.R. So depending on their home series and not stepping all over their European customers we very well may see a very large presence of Corvette Racing on the Continent in 08.
L.P.
