Second, JDC will have new driver pairings, with Simpson staying in the 99 and Goikhberg moving over to the 85. No word on co-drivers as of yet.

I guess GM paying that entry fee really has helped teams decide on what machinery to get.
So, not looking good for ESM. Entry fee to pay. Sponsors gone. Van Overbeek retired, Derani moved on.
What is left? Sharp and Dalziel? A couple of cars they don't even own?

A pity, I really liked that team. When they were bad they were really bad, but when they were good, they were really good.
