2012 Motorsports News/Updates

[Thallidomaniac]

Well, since there isn't seem to be a motorsports topic, and the last one has been dead for awhile, I'll start one anew with this one.

Biggest news today is that Peugeot's dropping it's LMP1 program this year. That'll leave the LMP1 class pretty much all for Audi's taking, which probably won't be a good thing to see one team getting all the wins in a series. The Peugeots will be missed indeed.

And at Dakar this year, it was Peterhansel taking the win, and Robby Gordon somehow finishing in 5th despite all the mess about his disqualification for a non-compliant part. Still an improvement over last year's retirement for a bad wheel bearing.

And Danica Patrick's in NASCAR full-time this season, who would've thought... Oh wait.
