The Porsche ladder system basically. Im sure some of the Porsche factory drivers of today went through the Junior team system. Marc Basseng was a Porsche Junior driver btw but that didnt work out too well for him apparently..

Junior Program:
Bachler and Christensen are going on into their second season (thus on to Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup) and Bou & Phillippi have been chosen to do the 2013 program. http://www.porsche.com/usa/eventsand...juniorprogram/ |

GTC for them next year...and then we will see. Too bad, but Porsche is not really offering a competitive product for 2013 in the ALMS.

Article says that the 1998 GT1 overall win was the last factory effort for Porsche, but wasn't the 1999 Manthey effort when they won the GT class a factory assault?

Not really, although you could argue it was two semi-factory teams developing the 996 for racing while racing each other (Manthey and Champion).

Felbermayr was testing the car at Aragon. I wonder if they too will have a car in 2013.

I bet ol Arakis and Rich07 are running to the chemist for some pills and a butt plug at the thought of that driver line up .
Wonder what Ferrari will do ..... Im sure they relish the thought of taking on Porsche in the WEC . |
