The rest of the season’s schedules for the other pilots are also taking shape: Four long-standing works drivers will compete at the Le Mans 24 Hours and the World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the new Porsche 911 RSR. The winning duo Marc Lieb (Germany) and Richard Lietz (Austria) head into the second WEC season under the direction of the newly founded factory squad “Porsche AG Team Manthey”. Newcomers to the sports car world championship are Joerg Bergmeister (Germany) and Patrick Pilet (France).

Oh and Nick Tandy has been signed as the 10th Works Driver for 2012.

Because Toyota released their sketch 3 months before the car hit the track, and the LMP1 Porsche's track debut (in testing) is only scheduled much later this year (definitely in the second half of the year).

Yeah nothing new in these rumours. They've been running for as long as we've known about the Porsche return.

Nothing new in this story either. Someone asked Webber about it and he's denied it so they made a story out of it.

Webber is on a one year deal (again) with the best team in F1. I'm sure he's quite happy to wait for at least the first half of this season before re-evaluating.

Do people really think he's already made an agreement with Porsche?

EDIT: Here's the original story in English if people want to see what he said: http://www.pitpass.com/48383-Exclusi...-Porsche-links

Personally I STRONGLY suspect that 2014 will be fielded by the drivers they got in the GTE's this year.
2015, or a third car is whats up for anyone else. (I don't see a third car in 2014)

Timo Bernhard/Romain Dumas/Nick Heidfeld

Neel Jani/Jean-Karl Vernay/Not sure

(If we are lucky enough to get a third car for '14 - agree CTD, not sure we will)

Not sure x3


Personally I don't think the likes of Lieb/Lietz/Bergmeister/Pilet will get race seats. If they conduct a lot of testing this year you'd imagine it will be Dumas/Bernhard who do the bulk of it. Hard for the GT boys to get seat time.

Along with Bernhard and Dumas, Pat Long is the other Porsche driver with (Porsche) prototype experience. How much that weighs in the final judgement remains to be seen I suppose. Bergmeister is fairly tall by prototype standards, but it's dependent on the tub whether or not that is too tall to fit.

Will be fascinating to see how much Porsche pulls from within their own program vs. without. Always the possibility for drivers to swap brands unexpectedly (Wurz) within the P1 community. Also a need to keep factory GT pilots around with the 991 sure to be entering wider use in 2014. Interesting times ahead.

Old, very old rumour...

Mark Webber has been potentially going to step into more vehicles "next year" than practically anyone else in motorsport for the past few years!

Waiting for the "Mark Webber to Volkswagen WRC to replace Latvala" rumour to begin...you heard it here first.

Eh please no. I'd much rather a proper manufacturer to be honest. Mercedes as a preference... There's a certain allure to the silver arrows over pretty much anyone for me.

Regarding Porsches return next year do we think it will be a test year like Audi had in '99 or will they be gunning straight for a win more like the Peugeot in 2007?
