Is Stuck retired now ?
This is sad , but understandable ..... always remember him and Wollek in the pink Joest 962 at Le Mans 1989 ..... marvelous stuff , from marvelous drivers and a brilliant team . Possibily one of the best ever driver combo's . |

With so many quality drivers the decision was not an easy one.
nr.7 McNish-Pagenaud and with Kristensen-Guy Smith for Le Mans nr.77 Brabham-Montagny and with Lotterer-Watts for Le Mans And since this is a dream team they'd be driving a Ferrari V8 powered LMP. |

Well it was supposed to be a Ferrari V12 but try telling that to the ACO...
Started out as four drivers but seeing as though others were doing Le Mans lineups I followed the crowd, are you going to tell Tom Kristensen he cant race the Seven Racing Squadron Ferrari LMP? |

I would give the money to the prince of the privateers, Henri Pescarolo, to assemble the squad, and do the French double shuffle to get a current Peugeot, with ALL the latest updates.
Why reinvent the wheel when you don't need to. Besides the drivers below should be faster than the works squad anyway #16 Bourdais/Sarrazin/Treluyer/Davidson - 100% maximum attack. But Bourdais is starting to make sure he gets a drive Oh, and can I paint it gold, to represent the money I am splashing |

Chassis:
- 2x Porsche LMP1. else - 2x Epsilon Euskadi (updated) - HPD engine. Drivers: Lotterer/Dumas (24H - Watts). Franchitti/Pagenaud (24H - Cocker). Dumas' ability has always impressed me. The guy seldom falters, and runs consistently in virtually all conditions. Lotterer's pace at LM this year also impressed me a lot. Particularly his final stint, under such intense pressure. In saying this, I'd just as easily hire Treluyer - for similar reasons. Franchitti/Pagenaud obviously have a brief history. Both are fast, consistent, and display mechanical sympathy. As others have highlighted, Cocker deserves a seat. Okayama '09/Road America '10 are likely the most suitable queues as to why this should occur. Last edited by R4z3rw33n; 6 Jul 2011 at 15:28. |

I'm going with 3 x Porsche LMP1's. Sorry Badger, I'm a rebel without a cause.
1. Allan McNish/David Brabham - the old heads. 2. Benoit Treluyer/Simon Pagenaud - the gun team. 3. Jonny Cocker/ Christopher Mies - the young guns. |
