SignaTech claimed ILMC championship victory, and scored a podium at LM. Would this have any effect on his driver rating or, the team's capability to provide a seat? It might be a possible explanation. |

I thought we'd have heard a bit more about line-ups for Signatech by now given they have two cars. I'd assume the second one is full of gentleman drivers perhaps. |

I don´t know about Signatech TBH: Yes, they´ve announced to enter 2 cars in the championship but since then news has come out that last years´ partner Didier Calmels had reached an agreement to run a private Pug (before the board´s decision to withdraw) so it could be they´ve split and that the necessary budget isn´t there anymore???

Paul Tracy said he's eyeing sports cars as "the next phase of my career."

I'm wondering whether one of the gaps at Signatech will be filled by Olivier Lombard? I'm sure Nissan would have looked to try and keep hold of him. Plus he brings some useful funding with him.
He tweeted that he will announce his programme for 2012 soon. I imagine that will be Feb 2 if he is staying in sportscars. |

Just on twitter RCE tweeted something about a possible WEC entry.
Could this be the Dome s102? It is in the December issue... Quote:

On twitter:
RacecarEngineer: And on top of all of the F1 stuff we are still sitting on a very surprising and cool LMP1 story (see Dec issue of RCE for a huge hint) Anybody with a december issue of RE (or an other inside) in this. Wasn't the december issue the one with the piece about Dome? Maybe the alleged link between the new Toyota and the Dome? edit Beat me to it NellisB |

Kind of a leftfield one but E-I reports that Alexandre Premat has signed a deal to compete full-time in Aussie V8 Supercars.
I'm sure he must have had offers for WEC/LM drives. Maybe he didn't want to compete in LMP2 any longer? http://www.endurance-info.com/versio...ance-9442.html |

In V8 Supercars all drivers get paid, and some of them pretty lavishly from what I've heard... so that might have played into that.

Im guessing most drivers would be on six figures and at least half a dozen at the top would be earning upwards of half a million AUD per year with one or two of those on seven figures (or at least to anyway). Good money to be earnt. |

I think we've all known this for a while now after all the rumours last year but I was at least hoping to see Farnbacher at N24. Shame

They still have their ADAC project I think: https://www.facebook.com/Farnbacher.ESET.Racing
Everything's in german and the translations of their latest messages don't work too well. |

German Porsche Carrera Cup: safe N24/VLN is being evaluated, might be with either the GT3-car or the GTE, probably the later. |

I meant the GT2 programme, don't really care of their GT3 plans. But I'm glad if they continue at the Ring
