And sounds like he is just around the tax evasion and possibly not truly involved in it so may escape anything serious.
But yeah, think the crew will be good and shopping for a new client already. Close to the race to find a new driver now for Petit BUT stranger things have happened |

No Van Eerd, no RFN, simple as that. According to Dutch news sources the Dutch Public Prosecution Service will decide today whether to start prosecuting the nine suspects or not. Typically suspects are being released if the latter. If Van Eerd is being released the damage might be limited but I feel he might already have too much of a negative image for the Jumbo company and he'll (be forced to) step back. |

All the motorsport sponsoring is because of Frits van Eerd, rest of the family don't care. Even if this case ends well for him I can imagine the spendings car cut.

One would assume the entry is paid for as RTN has been contesting the NAEC so far and as Algarve Pro proved at the beginning of the year, unwrapping sponsor names doesn't take that long so yeah, the scenario you're describing is possible. On Van Eerd: The Dutch "Financial Times" (Financieel Dagblad) is reporting that today 1 of the 9 suspects has been released but it's not Van Eerd. His custody has not officially been confirmed by the authorities though but the FD is usually very thorough with their reporting. Jumbo will give all sponsorship deals a hard look I'm sure - we'll see which ones survive. It's hard to imagine them ending their cycling team and F1 commitments but who knows. |

And Van Eerd's custody has been extended by 3 days. He's one of only 3 suspects to remain in custody, 5 others have been released.

Today Van Eerd has been released from custody but remains a suspect in a money laundry & tax evasion case.

Wonder if there's any chance he'll be able to do the Petit now that he's been released? None of the reports I've read have any information on what the conditions of his release are.

Nope I'm not assuming guilt. I'm assuming regardless he'd want to get his affairs in order rather than racing an LMP2 car. Genuinely don't care if they turn up so happy to move on.

Well we at least get one Ferrari for Petit, Risi with Rigon, Serra and Calado
https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/c...petit-le-mans/ It would also depend on release requirements, US travel allowances and multiple other moving pieces for van Erd. I think best bet is the car is funded without a way to get the money back and the team can use another driver. I'm looking at it as a bonus if they're there but LMP2 so they're all just there rather than THE show |

And Cooper had his toy taken away from him. Ok, probably something else happening but WeatherTech AMG to GTD Pro with Maxi Goetz, Maxi Buhk and Mikael Grenier.

Also 11 P3s so we'll see at least 11 cautions...

It was entertaining watching them and GTD try to beat each other in to T3 as well, more than a few took to the cycle alternative. The smart ones at least, the idiots went through the grass and double hit curbing

48 is pretty close to the 2011 record when there was a constant traffic jam on track (54 cars with a few on the reserve list if I remember correctly, my arm still hurts from blue flagging!).

At least now all the GT cars have the potential to run at the same speed (depending on who is behind the wheel) That may make it slightly less chaotic, although 11 P3 cars.... |
