I agree, if they couldn't bring a second car, whatever the reason is, they better could put Cooper behind the wheel as he is more known in the USA than Keilwitz plus he knows the tracks well. About Keilwitz capabilities, I think he is a good driver, but i think he is not a Vilander or something (yet).

Strange that Valvoline not want to back their usa campain, or their 2016 backer Whelen. The can build fast championship winning cars, but marketing seems a bit of a weak point for them.
Maybe the Valvoline money is from their German branch so we only see their support in GT Masters and nowhere else. I understand they're a small team but to only realise that they wont have a car for Cooper so close to the season opener is pretty disorganised. Its not a good look.

Anyone know what Realtime are up to this year?
