Wonder if Bourdais has a clash with Indycar for Le Mans , too early to tell .
I would like to se from the following : Lieb-Stanaway-Bourdais .

You forget the fourth guy already signed... named M. Webber ;-)
So there are 4 drivers in the line-up.
But in the same time you can expect Porsche to run 3 drivers line-up during all the WEC (like Toyota & Audi started to do last year) to give every line-up a maximum track time and some perfect routine in their work.
Plus a possible 3rd car for Le Mans. I remember someone of Porsche board saying that with 2 cars you cannot win Le Mans...
So that let us ... 5 seats to fill!
In the Endurance Info list some names have been linked very strongly with Porsche like Heidfeld, Pilet, Lieb (those two are under contract), Vernay (will they sign him if he keeps doing P16 or P20 in supercup??) ...
My point of view is that it's going to be closely linked to what Porsche is going to do with 991 (USCR? WEC? 1 or 2 cars?) ;-)
