They're looking for Americans... could be a clue that Johnny-O might be considering retirement / moving into a consultancy role like Ron Fellows?

Plus it wouldn't hurt to have some new drivers for 2011 with some experience in the car if they do decide to make a Euro-factory backed team.

Maybe someone will be in a customer car? Peka or LAA? Although that seems rather......

Can anyone tell me if the GT2 chassis that the Corvette Team is racing in ALMS this year are the same (001 and 002) chassis that they ran last year?
Thanks, |

So, someone is leaving (retiring at the end of the year). Don't remember if it was here or on RLM, but someone hinted at O'Connell being the next ambassador of Corvette. He's getting close to 50 which was about around the same time Ron retired.

I reckon Corvette need some young American blood in their cars .
Who might be a possible goody there then ? |

During Midweek Motorsport last week, Marshall says Graham Rahal did a mighty fine job in his test but he did reiterate that, as TWK mentioned above, the choice was already made, so I don't know what the test was for.
I'm sure that if it's Johnny who's retiring, Corvette will want to put an American in there. The only 'open' seats seem to be Garcia's and Collard's, since they're the most newbie on the team, but I think Garcia's performance are making it harder to drop him. I wouldn't be sad at all if Butch and Graham joined next year but to what extent is Graham interested in going away from single seaters? But I'm sure there's other names that I don't know about. |

Given that he is in the Top 20 in NASCAR Sprint Cup right now, probably not!
Good for Graham to get the miles, though I think comments from all across the board don't suggest he is likely for anything except an enduro ride. Johnny is the most likely retiree but you have to figure that, with some of the comments going around, that might not be the only change, and new faces from within and without could be commonplace next year. Collard in particular has a lot of prototype experience and you have to figure that he would not, like Fassler, be shy about leaving for a prototype if one becomes available. |

If someone had asked me a few hours ago , who is the older of the two O'Connell or Leitzinger .
I would have said Leitzinger !!! Seems Leitzinger is only a boy , born in 1969 , and O'Connell was born in 1962 !!! Easy life Johnny boy . |

As far as whether they're running the cars from last year or not though, I don't know. |

My theory is that since Butch has been driving prototypes for so long, he's doing a GTC ride to get himself reacquainted with driving a slower GT car and being passed by the LMPs and such because he'll be moving into a yellow GT2 car next year.
