Also I wonder who the two drivers for RLL are...maybe BB and Jayhoward with Pippa Mann running Indy?

All I read is that they bought 2 cars, not about that they would field 2 cars. But I would be great to have Lettermann back on the grid full time.

Further, Penske now officialy confirmed Power, Castroneves ánd Briscoe will race again for them in 2012. Sponsorship announcements will be made later.

If you all have a listen to last nights Midweek Motorsport on Radio Le Mans, SPEED's Marshall Pruett and the team talk quite a bit about the latest goings on in the paddock to do with 2012, well worth a listen. They talk about Indycar about half way through the second half till the end.

RLL have signed up with Honda, and also engaged the services of Tom Anderson. I can imagine Sato ending up at Rahal's team now KV have Chevy power.

Talk that there is no GoDaddy.com seat to fill now. They may have decided to pull out after Wheldon's passing and the unfortunate circumstances of him being both their 2012 driver and their $5,000,000 Challenge contestant.

Andretti Autosport are now testing Gustavo Yacamán and James Davison, allegedly, which says they are now looking for a ride-buyer. According to some, this isn't for a fourth car; it's for the third car that once was the GoDaddy.com one.

Also interesting to hear Danica say she doesn't have a sponsor for Indy, meaning GoDaddy.com will only back her in NASCAR, which of course makes you wonder if they'll be at the 500 at all, fueling these rumors even further.

Would be a shame. I don't blame them; I'm sure they wanted an out with Danica and got caught in Michael's clever negotiating that Danica could only be released if GoDaddy.com agreed to stay as a sponsor. But the reality is that the only man who could really be a good face for their company is no longer alive, GoDaddy.com had a terrible weekend promotion-wise given their sponsorship of the unfortunate event, the ratings still suck, Bob Parsons prefers oval racing for whatever reason...I suppose they found their way out, and they're 100% correct to leave.

I don't like seeing a sponsored car disappear, because it would be nice for a good driver to not have to bring money for one, but at the same time, it defies all logic for sponsors to even be here, and none of the talented drivers bring the personalities GoDaddy.com had been looking for.

We'll see...

Financial considerations aside... if you put an untried kid in an IndyCar, even if he contributes to the team's operating budget, will this satisfy the likes of GoDaddy... who quite reasonably would expect results on track, as well as off, for their investment?

Davison is actually a pretty good driver though, so there's a difference. He's proven himself in lights so I would not be worried about him going to IndyCar.

Yeah I can see Servia back at Newman-Hass. They've got a good guy in James Hinchcliffe as well, if he picks it up this season, they may surpass AA as the third best team.

What about the future of SH Racing? Any rumors about their 2012 programs? Will Scheckter be their driver yet?

Story Here

Lotus Engine Progress Being Made

No Track Testing of Lotus Engine Til January

So... any team with a contract for a Lotus engine will be at least 2 months behind in learning about the chassis, let alone the engine package...

Seems odd to me...
