NZSTfan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Second seat at LDM

....is still vacant from what I can tell.

If so, I wonder who could be in line for it?

Anyone got the juice on this?

Ant Pedersen? Complete guess, but who else is left?

Lack of announcement though, yes, is getting annoying.

Yeah that's what I thought too, and then Speedcafe did an article some time ago about Heimgartner being the lead guy for the drive. My understanding is he is doing the GT series this year in a latest spec V10 Audi. I am not sure if everything is signed, sealed delivered etc.

I cant find anything on LDM websites etc, and I agree its getting quite annoying.

Surely they are locked in for 2 cars?

Despite an enduro contract, is it possible we may see the Dumbrell brothers team up?

....and the drive goes too...

Andre Heimgartner

Well done to the young fella, and I think himself teamed up with Nick Percat is a good combo. T8 gear with KRE engines (I believe?).....could be a good'un.

Be interesting to see how he fares against his old team Super Brown, sorry Super Black Racing, and their driver Chris Pither.

This does mean a withdrawal from the B12hr, and the Aussie GT's. But its clear he wants to be in a V8SC rather than a GT car, so good on him.

Plus it means another kiwi on the grid...

Just got to wait for the obvious (apparently) announcement of Cam Waters, and that's 26 cars locked and loaded.

What makes you think that.

Blancpain clashes with sandown, so he would have to give up one for the other

I am guessing this was sarcasm ??

Congrats to Andre, lets hope he can get some decent results.

It is/was as credible as any of the other options floated around...

Wonder why the Euros being floated didn't get the seat? The exchange rate might have been kind to them...
