PLM and Laguna could be much more profitable for LMS P1 teams than previous years, particularly the Lola Aston Martin, which appears a match for the R10 away from the long straights of Le Mans.
It'll not happen, but I'd like to see how something like the Oreca Judd would go on tighter US circuits. |

AGR has struggled since their shock class win at Sebring in 2007, and they could potentially be losing their sponsor with the XM/Sirius merger taking full effect later this year (nothing has been said about that, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit) Highcroft has been wicked fast and consistent, Fernandez has been quick but had awful luck (the DQ at Sebring & the misfire at Lime Rock for example), and de Ferran was competitive right out of the box. |

A fixation with "driver" and "car?" I suggest that "team" is the third, just as important, component.

I think that Montagny and Rossiter is a very solid driver line up and a lot of good can come from them given some more time to run. If they get cut at the end of the season I don't know if that will be time enough. While Mario has been good on occasion, I don't think subbing him in every so often was a very good move. A solid fixed driver lineup should have been priority from the second they dropped Herta and Fittipaldi.

Mario is over the hill..
However much I respect him, he was not very sharp even back when he partnered Jan Magnussen and David Brabham in Panoz at the 2000 Le Mans. He could not see much at night, and the reflexes was not the best. Which is not strange, happens for the best of us when we get older. But leave us with the memories |

I do believe he meant Marco, not his grandfather Mario.
