Have to think Ben Keating is the driving force of the Riley to Le Mans push. I think they'll need a bronze driver to pair with him and Bleekemolen.

Not really fussed what colour they paint it to be honest as long as it turns up. I think that it's place as first reserve was justified but I like Riley's attitude of preparing as if they are going to the race - as effectively they are as long as they can get the money together. |

They will definitely need a Bronze. Bleekemolen and Keating shared with Al Carter at Daytona. He is a Bronze and he is doing the NAEC with them in the GTD Viper. Any thoughts on that?

Being Le Mans it also opens them up to a host of European gentleman drivers who could presumable chuck in a bit more funding.

With the viper being the first reverse then it should hopefully mean that they will get any remaining funding needed to race.
Not to sound negative but a car will be withdrawn as the last time that there wasn't a withdrawal from the original entry list was before the diesel era! |

Not sure about official team name, but it's probably the Keating Le Mans entry.

For some reason, I wish the factory team return in 2016! And also, does having a tall rear wing would improve downforce?

I'm I the only one who never heard of Marc Miller?
Strange going to Le Mans with a rookie when there are lots former Viper GTE drivers out there like Dominik Farnbacher and Kuno Wittmer |

It's a GT-Am entry so, with Bleekemolen and Keating (the money guy) confirmed, all they could do was pick a bronze driver.

I realize that it has something to do with the Le Mans entry, but why would TI pull Al Carter and Cameron Lawrence from the GTD points lead? Worst idea I can remember for quite a while.

I must have missed something. What are you referring to? A naec entry in the viper?

Buried in this news piece a day ago or so:
http://sportscar365.com/imsa/tusc/37...ey-entry-list/ Look for the part about Viper in GTD. |

Btw, Miller is the guy that ploughed into the walkover bridge (past turn 6, Big bend) at Sebring last year in the Conti race. |
