Default ALMS News, BMW and Lexus in for '06

Looks like PTG BMW will return to the ALMS GT(2) class next year..
The new GT2 class is going to encourage more sedan/coupe cars to enter asside from the huge number of Porsches that made up the class in 05.

"For the past two seasons, Team PTG has competed in the Rolex Series' GT class, reeling off 17 victories in 26 events and winning the 2004 manufacturer's championship. That series' decision to allow tube-framed GT chassis with a bolt-on body didn't meet the mindset of BMW to directly market its wares"

Grand Am is making some interetsing moves, so far it's lost Lexus and BMW teams..who's next?

Also, Lexus has shifted it focus from the Rolex Grand AM Cup and will fund a two car Lexus IS350 team in the ALMS GT class as well...!!!!
