regarding Mazda, I think its unfair to say they have been totally useless (not suggesting anyone has actually said they are)... They have shown some fantastic form, and Joest have clearly improved things for this year.

But its been said many times in many ways, you can only polish a steaming heap so much... I imagine Mazda just want to grab some little gains here and there while they wait for the next homologation cycle to drop that Riley.
I would think that Derani is first in line to step in if there is a job opening in any of the 4 full time Ford GT cars. Granted turnover with Ford has been minimal since the program started. Ferrari has been underperforming so far. So maybe Derani will be appealing to them.

Perhaps Mazda needs an upgrade in the drivers department. Have any of the Mazda drivers specifically been underperforming from anybody's observation? Perhaps Derani could fit in there.
