Big Acura announcements.

Patron Highcroft and de Ferran Motorsports to run the LMP1 Acuras

Lowe's Fernandez Racing to run the LMP2 Acura.

And not one single word said about Andretti Green Racing:eek:

The rumor going around the last few weeks has AGR dropping ALMS and replacing it with A1GP.

Supposedly "negotiating" with Honda to stay in P2 next year. Sounds like the new Honda racing leadership doesn't worship Mikey quite as much as Bob Clarke did.

Honda would be smart to bring in a top team from the IRL or GA to take AGR's place in P2. But then, Honda would be smart to do a lot of things...

If the axe had to fall on one of Honda's P2 programs, I can't think of a more deserving whiner to take the wallet hit.:p

Given the rotating drivers who don't make it to the track until race day I not shocked that Honda would be less than impressed.

Jobs given based on performance. Seems simple enough to me.

and AGR takes the win.

Makes you wonder if that was a big FU or have they just finally gotten their acts together.

So you've finally settled on a fast, stable driver lineup which led to your first class win in 18 months and first overall victory. How do you respond? By ****canning half of that lineup in favor of Maaco and Toucan Tony (http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/alms-kanaan-andretti-and-montagny-for-agr-at-petit/).

Nice to see that Mikey's brief period of lucidity and common sense appears to be over.

The AGR brain trust make turnips look smart.
Replacing James Rossiter with Kanaan/Micro is idiotic.
