Right, but I think the property lines have blurred over the years! I guess Audi has four full-time factory sports car drivers (and I guess Rockenfeller is preoccupied this year), but Dindo is retiring I guess so they will be down to three. It'll be interesting to see what they do for the WEC. I would have to think that Audi would like to get Timo and Romain's services on a more permanent basis. The drivers of the "red" car are all part-timers and have other racing duties with other companies AFAIK.

Also will those GT teams have to make major changes to run the WSC from Ratel's? This could be a good problem to have.

The GT2s that will be allowed in the Ratel series will be 2009-spec cars. There may be teams that run both SRO and ACO series (perhaps the LMS if not the WEC), but there really isn't too much overlap between the series as far as I can tell. Perhaps someone else can speculate in that regard.

That would be awesome, but you might be better off setting your aspirations to Zhuhai or Shanghai! Hopefully Honda, Toyota, and/or Nissan will catch Le Mans fever and demand a Japan race. The way the auto industry is going though even those brands may want to race in China over Japan. Who knows.
