I don't think anyone was expecting them to poach Mike Conway or lure Seb Vettel, but the lack of any sort of representative driver means we're not going to ultimately know how good the car is. Let alone how the team is supposed to push the car forward across a season.

They're certainly putting a lot of responsibility on Vernay's shoulders as the only experienced driver in the team, bearing in mind that, as you say, it's a decade since he had any mileage in a prototype, and in recent years has been very much a FWD touring car specialist.
