Is Rahal coming or not!?!?
The Audi North America boss on RadioWeb hinted Rahal would run R8s (one or two?) next season!! So it's seems that definetely Rahal will come to ALMS.... Am I right?

I think Rahal would have to race in the ALMS, there is no where else. Grand-AM is changing next year and the FIA SCC would penalise the R8. The ALMS is the only real option. Doran are supposed to be joining the ALMS next year to with their Lista.

Uhm, there _is_ a litter thing called CART Rahal's involved in at the moment, pink69... 
He's probably going to wait until his CART effort is entirely ready to go for next year, then see if he's got the spare change to run the ALMS program.

Well it was rummoured on Radio Le Mans back in June and I think Len Hunt (top guy in Audi Sport USA) said dissions had taken place, but I might be wrong.

I hope so. But I read in Automotive News magazine that Audi will not support ($$$) their customers at Le Mans

No No No ... According to Bentley big boss Franz-Josef Paefgen: "In 2003, Bentley must be back at the podium at LeMans. We will add the speed and all being well, we will
take the chekered falg."
Now, It's easy to understand Who will win Le Mans 2003.  VW internal politics being what they are, Audi has had it's fun and now it's Bentley's turn.

According to AUTOSPORT Bobby Rahal is thought to be moving in the direction of GTS rather than Prototypes.... Now, I am truly confused...
