Red hot as in fire? Over the years Kolles has a bit of experience with burning cars
After all those years I still don't know how on earth it's possible they still race.

I was looking forward to see Kubica in a LMP1, but I think he made the right decision.

Some tweaks to the official list spotted by S365:

http://johndagys.wpengine.netdna-cdn...18-04-2017.pdf
http://sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/k...in-dh-ferrari/

Hoy out - Jacques Nicolet in at Eurasia. I think we already called that Hoy wasn't racing this year.

Also Tracy Krohn jumping into the DH Racing lineup which had also been extremely quiet. One reserve gone.

Missed this the other day but James Rossiter will continue with ByKolles through Le Mans - https://www.motorsport.com/lemans/ne...e-mans-895744/

Really hope he gets a competitive seat one day at Le Mans. I'm convinced he could jump into a works P1 and be on pace if given the chance.

I actually thought the ByKolles car looked stronger at Silverstone than in previous years. I think one or two of the LMP2 cars from ELMS will be the first retirements..

Great spots. I'm sure they'll get fixed if DSC check this thread.

Corvette situation is interesting as you have these two big name ex-Audi guys. But I'd be amazed if they didn't put Jordan Taylor into one of the spare seats. He's done the race in each of the last five years, and is the best driver Corvette have on their roster in my opinion.

Yes, I would expect Jordan to step into one of these cars too, especially considering the great job he and Ricky are doing in the Caddy at the moment.

"Ricky Taylor, who was initially listed as Larbre’s nominated driver for its Le Mans GTE-Am entry, has since been confirmed in Keating Motorsports’ Riley Mk. 30 Gibson in LMP2, with Jordan set to remain part of the factory GTE-Pro squad for the race, although not yet officially announced."

Hope he can recover in time - especially after the back injury put him out of the race in 2014. Still a Le Mans rookie but shouldn't be.

Having looked at the schedule, has there been a full day of track action on the Thursday in previous years, or have I been too preoccupied by cold beverages to notice?

Don't think so. At least not since I've been there, Thursday action always started past mid-day, probably around 3-4 pm.
