And it seems, that just like the LMS and non-WEC related ACO rules sportscar series, for each bit of good news, we get a bit of bad news to balance it out.
The Good: Dyson and Cytosport will be back in the ALMS next year, with Dyson maybe running 3 cars and Butch is back at least until the end of the current season.
The Bad: Highcroft has layed off all but a couple of their employeers, and Robertson is scraping it to make it to PLM this year, which means that 2012 for them is uncertain to say the least.
That is the big issue with the ALMS and LMS following the ACO's model for so long--Audi and Peugeot left those respective series at the first feelers of the ILMC/WEC forming. I think that both series need to stake a claim and run to their take on the ACO's rules by keeping their rules similar enough to allow their cars to run at LM, but they need to make their own identity to survive in their current format long term.
