It looks like Audi is the last remaining hope.

Any news on Alfa lately?

Last word I heard was on Powershift on XM, where Angstadt said they were going to be in Germany on the 18th for more engine formula discussions and that some people from Italy would be flying up there as well.

With Porsche buying more and more shares of VW/Audi it makes total sense.
I have many Sources telling me that Audi is activly pursuing entrance into the IRL.

I am still holding out hope for a Mazda-Cosworth partnership for the near future.

In fact if I had my way I would like to see Dallara, Lola & Swift all making chassis. If there is one thing I really don't like it is the notion that there will be one chassis in 2011. Yea, BB has a point that the avg. fan dosen't care what chassis is out there, but the hardcore fans they would care if there were multiple chassis out there and I doubt the avg. would be aganist having multiple chassis.
