What will become of the Joest drivers?
The factory Joest Audi team seem set to pull out of the ALMS at the end of the season. What will become of their highly impressive driver line up of Pirro, Kristensen, Biela and Cappello? perhaps a works DTM assault will be on the cards, or an ETCC perhaps? Maybe they'll be driving the Bentley's! Who knows? We'll have to wait and see no doubt!

Capello can come to my place -- I can find something for him to do.

Maybe they will find a place on the rumored Porsche team for 2003. Joest will need something to do and I think he was just on loan from Porsche anyway. All of these guys are now seasoned endurance veterans, so they will have little trouble. I just hope some of them don't get hosed like JJ Lehto did and end up in a GT-3 or something.

Depends on what Audi do i would say. Biela, Pirro and Capello raced in Touring Cars in the 90's when Audi were in Tourers, and when Audi went to Sportscar's they followed, so i guess they will follow again, depending where Audi go, DTM, ETCC....
Also, i guess Joest could run the R8's privately next year if they wanted to. |

Are Tesco's recruiting delivery drivers? Probably a harder job than winning Le Mans in an Audi at the present time......

They'll find something. They are all excellent drivers thats why they're at Audi, someone good somewhere will want them. I think they'll carry on in sportscars probably in a privateer Audi.
