Le Mans 2009 Test Day's been cancelled. Teams only have a practice just before the race.
Motorsport and aftermarket? Why don't we have two different discussions?
Oh and Audi pulled out of ALMS completely.

Probably the last economic crisis. It's a pattern. When there is an economic downturn, people spend less money on everything. From litigation to fixing up cars, things just slow down. They'll be back; they won't just go away forever.

^Well, yes, because it costs money, and nowadays, a lot of people have less money. When the economic cycle gets on the up again, everything picks up.
