Well, I do, but I don't think they stand a chance against Audi. They would really have to bend the rules towards them and I don't think that will happen.

Didn't the Creation qualify in front of the Audi at Petit LeMans and Laguna?  If Intersport can figure out how to make the Creation reliable, they'll have the speed to put the pressure on Audi.

The main problem with creation is the wheel size.  The car is an LMP2 car converted to run in LMP1.  The cost to change the car to run the wider tires was too high so they could not do it.  They just recently started testing an LMP1 tire, and it is my understanding that Intersport will run the wide tire at some point in the season.  Having the narrower tire means that they can't double stint, which takes about 15 seconds a pit stop longer.

If creation doesn't show up with their own car they are still going to be there with a huge presence helping out intersport
