Bleekemolen/ Rosina will be an interesting pairing in sprint. Bleekemolen is quick in anything

Still surprised by the fact they've put Vadim Gitlin next to Bleekemolen and Bortolotti...

No Jeroen Mul? That's seriously disappointing.

Bleekemolen has some clashes with IMSA, doesn't he?

4 Mercedes AMG GT's for HTP, in the Blancpain GT Series and VLN.

No indication of how many cars running in Sprint/endurance, or VLN.

Also suggests they have no plans for GT Masters

Maybe he will join a other Lambo team? Or race the 2nd Grasser car in ADAC GT.

At the cost of the shorter calendar in lots of years. Not worth.

That makes no sense at all. Different people making the decisions now unlike Darren Cox who seemed to be in Reips corner. Hope they're not cutting back the Blancpain program

Well I guess it's called "GT Academy", so when a graduate doesn't meet the standard (whatever that is), he is dropped. After all, folks like Jann Mardenborough are also looking for seats by themselves.

I guess winning the Bathurst 12hr, Paul Ricard 1000 and the Blancpain Endurance Series Championship aren't up to Nissan's "standards".

Lucas must have some funding as well or something? Doesn't make sense to keep him and not Riep.

Not exactly Blancpain related, but following the lines of the Wolfgang Reip announcement, Paletou has also been dropped by Nissan.

No points for second place I'm afraid

This seems weird, Paletou hasn't had long to develop. Why pull so many drivers through the system only to drop them if they don't perform instantly... Not entirely the point of an academy

I suspect it has to do with expired contracts not being renewed, saving a tiny bit of budget in the process (to be used on some small aero fin on the new Renault F1 car...)

Riep must be strong enough to attract another drive in GT racing

Maybe he'll do the ADAC series?
