Didn't realize so many people on here were active on twitter.......

I think Porsche will go with a mix of established stars and ex F1 drivers.

Dumas and Bernhard are pretty much assured of a seat. Heidfeld looks like a strong possibility of joining them, I can't see him staying with a privateer if a factory team comes knocking. Not sure about the Mark Webber rumors to be honest, he might be still in F1 in 2014 and he has repeatedly said that he isn't in a hurry to return to le mans.

Porsche will need most of its GT stars for its GT cars so most of the current crop will stay there. Bergmeister and Lieb might step up, Lieb especially seems to be groomed in the model of Norbert Singer so I'm sure he'll be part of the P1 programme.
