3) Acura will meet its strogest competitor in P2 again. Acura has suffered two years against the Porsche. Only in the second part of this season, in ALMS, they seem to be as competitive as the Porsches. Fight the Porsche in P1 class could mean find more difficult, at the same way of what happened in P2.

If the Porsche would make a partnership with Penske Racing Team, it would be a very hard contender! We all know how much strong Porsche and Penske can be. Penske can be considered the Joest Team of P2 class. I think they could be at the same level of the Audi Sport, in P1 class. The results are clear, don't you think?
Audi owns Porsche, so who makes the plans there? Peugeot will produce a car to the new rules, regardless of who the competition is. Acura has already stated they're going into P1, seems to me to also be regardless of who the competition is. BTW - Acura has only been competitive in the second half of this season? 5 wins to 4 starting at the 3rd race of the season leads me to think otherwise.
