Porsche doesn't seem to have plans to move to P1.

Acura, HPD, plan to move to the LMP1 class for 2009. Two of the factory-backed Acura teams, Highcroft Racing and Andretti Green Racing, run modified Courage LC75 chassis this year.

They plan to use the Courage-based car for 2008.

A privateer LMP2 team that has at least held off Porsche for a few laps.

I like how Mazda is developing an engine, but yet keeping the privateer in mind. B-k Motorsports has raced a Lola B07/40 (2007 version of the B05/40...Fernandez has same car but isn't called the same by Lola's website at least) with Kumho tires.
