Talk:List of American Le Mans Series manufacturers

I'm confused, what exactly is the point of this list? Is it merely an attempt to copy something in the style of List of Formula One constructors? I'm not sure that a list of this type is relevant to a series such as ALMS. The359 ( Talk ) 06:30, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this article is supposed to be something like that. AmericanLeMans (talk) 17:25, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * But, unlike Formula One where manufacturers are for the most part the entrants themselves, the entrants in this case are simply buying an existing manufacturer's car or engine to utilize in the ALMS. I'm not really seeing the point of listing participants in ALMS like this, especially given the state of the article now.  The359  ( Talk ) 17:41, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, factual issues aside (Riley & Scott have provided engines since 2005?), I don't see much use in just listing companies and years. If this were expanded to include number of races, wins, notable teams, etc., to provide some context, it might be worth having. Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 19:54, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh go ahead. AmericanLeMans (talk) 00:05, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Like I said, if you want to do some work on this, it could be turned into a good list. In its current state, it doesn't provide much information (and some of the information there is patently wrong), and its way off from the Formula 1 list.  But that doesn't mean it can't be good, just that it will take some work. Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 22:16, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
