I don't know, they seemed hesitant to commit to a full season in LMP2 even. They have done a single race in a LMP2, is that enough to jump head-on into LMP1 and in the WEC as well? Seems like too much at once...

They´re also going to run a Blancpain program with 2 new McLarens and will be doing British GT again, this time with 1 car (Audi). Unlikely therefor imo.

I´m now thinking it is a British team since both DSC and Hindy have inside info. Going by the remarks made by both of them, could it be a (former) BTCC/British GT team with previous Honda ties??

Former GP2 driver Luca Filippi going AF Corse? He has reportedly tested a Ferrari one time and the team was satisfied with the test.

Isn't he on contract with Ferrari, and a possible future F1 driver (if everything goes right)

His single seater career is going absolutely nowhere, he's been running in GP2 limbo for FIVE FREAKING YEARS which is a good sign that nobody really wants him (unless he offers money). Might as well go to sportscars and do some actual motor racing, rather than keep driving in spec series that nobody follows..

I doubt it. He had a good second half of the year in 2011, but he's been there ages. Don't know how many years he's been in GP2 now, but he has over 100 starts.

Generally the rule is that if you're in GP2 for more than three years, you can wave goodbye to any F1 drive, unless you have a big pay check for a struggling team - Williams basically. Sad truth.

Fillipi is a decent driver, not really sure what he's been doing in GP2 all these years. Time to look elsewhere I'd have thought.

Would be cool to see him in a 458.



On an unrelated note, it's January 1st, would be good to see another team announce something for this year.

Finding that one tough to believe personally. He deserves to be somewhere on the LMP grid however. Good luck to him.

Tom Kimber-Smith says he wants an LMP1 ride at this years LM24. Looks to have a couple of options in the pipeline. I'm still surprised he can't get into one of the SIX seats on offer at Greaves.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/96868

Where do people see him fitting in LMP1? OAK? Rebellion? or, with an IF attached, Strakka?

There may be six seats, but maybe they have already been occupied and the team has only chosen to announce the occupants of two of those seats. As for where he'd fit... Strakka's 2011 line-up (Kane-Leventis-Watts) moves to LMP1, so there's nothing left there. Rebellion would be a nice fit if there's seats to spare.

I assume that is exactly the case at Greaves given TKS can't find a place. As for Strakka, I'm still holding out hope they will have an LMP2 entry allowing Leventis to race in that. If Honda are giving them increased support surely that is a favourable option for them too.

But note that Strakka's old LMP2 car is now in Honda's museum...
