Maybe they pulled out because they thought they really might FOLLOW Honda. My inside sources tell me that the new Acura LMP1 car is 3 seconds faster than the Audi. (I don't know at which track, but most likely Suzuka.)

I'm not saying I doubt you, but I find that hard to believe. Audi has come pretty close to perfecting the art of the LMP1 and no one has been able to touch them.

To go from that to 3 seconds behind seems like a hell of a jump.

The sources are pretty reliable, but Honda struggled so much with F1, it seems unlikely that they would be that strong right out of the chute. But I can always hope.:)
