Is Stuck retired now ?
This is sad , but understandable ..... always remember him and Wollek in the pink Joest 962 at Le Mans 1989 ..... marvelous stuff , from marvelous drivers and a brilliant team . Possibily one of the best ever driver combo's . |

With so many quality drivers the decision was not an easy one.
nr.7 McNish-Pagenaud and with Kristensen-Guy Smith for Le Mans nr.77 Brabham-Montagny and with Lotterer-Watts for Le Mans And since this is a dream team they'd be driving a Ferrari V8 powered LMP. |

Well it was supposed to be a Ferrari V12 but try telling that to the ACO...
 Started out as four drivers but seeing as though others were doing Le Mans lineups I followed the crowd, are you going to tell Tom Kristensen he cant race the Seven Racing Squadron Ferrari LMP?

And are you going to tell the ACO you want four drivers in one car?

I would give the money to the prince of the privateers, Henri Pescarolo, to assemble the squad, and do the French double shuffle to get a current Peugeot, with ALL the latest updates.
Why reinvent the wheel when you don't need to. Besides the drivers below should be faster than the works squad anyway  #16 Bourdais/Sarrazin/Treluyer/Davidson - 100% maximum attack. But Bourdais is starting to make sure he gets a drive  Oh, and can I paint it gold, to represent the money I am splashing

Chassis:
- 2x Porsche LMP1. else - 2x Epsilon Euskadi (updated) - HPD engine. Drivers: Lotterer/Dumas (24H - Watts). Franchitti/Pagenaud (24H - Cocker). Dumas' ability has always impressed me. The guy seldom falters, and runs consistently in virtually all conditions. Lotterer's pace at LM this year also impressed me a lot. Particularly his final stint, under such intense pressure. In saying this, I'd just as easily hire Treluyer - for similar reasons. Franchitti/Pagenaud obviously have a brief history. Both are fast, consistent, and display mechanical sympathy. As others have highlighted, Cocker deserves a seat. Okayama '09/Road America '10 are likely the most suitable queues as to why this should occur. Last edited by R4z3rw33n; 6 Jul 2011 at 15:28. |

I'm going with 3 x Porsche LMP1's. Sorry Badger, I'm a rebel without a cause.
1. Allan McNish/David Brabham - the old heads. 2. Benoit Treluyer/Simon Pagenaud - the gun team. 3. Jonny Cocker/ Christopher Mies - the young guns. |
