Just wonder if there're no GT withdraw like last year, then IMSA Matmut may withdraw their AM car to get the PRO one in, after that Porsche can have Pilet in 3rd PRO Porsche and there'll be still 4 AM 997s.

Also the #67 is a likely contender for the WEC title in AM (assuming that Narac and/or Armindo are still around?)

In that case it'll be the leading Porsche (or should I say non-Ferrari) in GTE-AM for sure. Larbre is the other serious contender but once again they lack pure speed as their driver-line ups are rather weak

Not in WEC though, Le Mans and ELMS maybe.

They only have AF Corse going against them in ELMS (so far) so it's a pretty straightforward deal there, and I also think they are easily one of the top3 favourites to win Le Mans

As for Montagny... we'll see if and where he pops up, I'm not sure if there's any room left in LMP1 for him. Audi surely won't take him on board, there's no places left at Toyota, Pescarolo, Rebellion or in either of the HPDs, OAK's third driver will probably be someone familiar to the team, the only option left would be Dyson and they'll probably have other deals already (I suspect their logistics deal with Status Grand Prix might include some driving talent if their LMP2 entry doesn't materialise). |

I hear Status might be helping out Dyson with logistics .
I also hear that gary Anderson (Ex Jordan GP) is the technical director , and David Kennedy is also involved ? Wonder might Warren Hughs or Jody Firth end up in a Dyson car ? Wonder if France (Embassy) has his finger in this pie ? |

Still don't really know what is happening with the second Signatech car. I'm wondering whether that will all just be pay drivers. Will also be interesting to see who ends up in the Luxury Pro 458. Maybe Melo again? |

I'd also missed that Dominik Farnbacher is in the AM Luxury 458 instead of Beltoise. Would maybe be my contender for pole in that class going head to head with Lamy/Larbre.

A couple more gaps filled in for LM as OAK unveiled their WEC line-ups:
#15 LMP1 - Guillaume Moreau, Bertrand Baguette, Dominik Kraihamer #24 LMP2 - Matthieu Lahaye, Olivier Pla, Jacques Nicolet http://www.oak-racing.com/wp-content...r-line-ups.pdf Strong drivers in both cars. Will be interesting to see how close to the top petrol pace the young guns can be in the P1. That still leaves the #35 car at LM. I'd expect Pla and Lahaye to team up with someone else and Nicolet/Hein/Yvon back for the #24. Is there any issue with drivers moving around cars during the WEC? Looks like we will be seeing the same thing at Signatech. Last edited by Simmi; 28 Feb 2012 at 18:31. |

Jack Clarke at Boutsen Ginion. Also, some mistakes: Anthony Beltoise is replaced by Dominik Farnbacher at Luxury Racing in car #58, Patrick Pilet is not confirmed at the Lizards in #80 (and I might say "not likely", unlike Pat Long), and Darren Turner is the nominated driver in the reserve-listed #98 Aston and not yet on the driver squad for the #97 car for Le Mans. For Level 5, we'll probably have to wait and see if the third driver is Barbosa or Diaz.
