AUTO RACING - LE MANS: Penske Interested In Porsche's P1 Return (http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/le-mans-penske-interested-in-porsches-p1-return)
After an ultra-successful run in the American Le Mans Series together, could Penske Racing reunite with Porsche for its factory LMP1 effort in 2014? Team Principal Roger Penske revealed on Sunday’s Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain that he’s had preliminary talks with the German manufacturer on a potential effort that could see his fabled American team return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time in over 40 years.
Penske is no stranger to the world of sportscar racing, having fielded Porsche’s factory RS Spyder program in the American Le Mans Series from 2005-2008. The LMP2 effort, which saw the DHL-sponsored prototypes earn 24 victories and three class championships, was brought to a close at the end of a planned three-year run.
