Ford confirm their third drivers for the WEC cars. Billy Johnson and Jonathan Bomarito.

First time back at La Sarthe for Bomarito since the works Viper.

ARC Bratislava have been testing their low drag Ligier at Monza with the crew confirmed previously.

Glad to see the car doing alright. Low drag sounds intriguing. Monza of course best place to test it

[Mike E]

Jeff Segal, Wei Lu and Rodrigo Baptista at JMW.


Headline on DSC but the link doesn't work.

This Baptista kid looks like another sneakly silver. 22 years old and 2017 Brazil Porsche GT3 Cup champ, and currently driving a K-Pax Bentley in the US.

[Simmi]

Not many seats left to fill now. Assuming BMW use their regular WEC partnerships as the base for their entries then I've only got 18 empty slots on the list I've made.

[Lutzvic]

and here you go :!!!! Mr. Krohn is back on track...he bought it from black swan

I hope they do the old white lignting style livery. Yeah I know, not the same team etc, but it'd be fun.

[S griffin]

Well I think the livery is good, but hopefully the car will be competitive for his sake

Well, when Pat is in it, you mean?

[S griffin]

Yep, it would be good to see him go well in it

It is probably the most reliable thing about the Le Mans entry list each year, isn't it? Tracey will get in somewhere!

[Deleted]

He's finished three times on a podium, two of which were in GT2 (a non proam category), so his 24h career definitely has had actual merits too, even if he is a textbook definition of old gentleman pay driver

[Aysedasi]

Yep, and you can hardly knock his enthusiasm. If I had the funds that he has at his disposal, I'd be doing the same thing!

[Peter Mallett]

A certain amount of ability might also assist.

[Aysedasi]

Sadly untested Peter........

[Aysedasi]

That much is true. Over the years I've driven it virtually thousands of times...... In 1967 layout and many modern ones!

[S griffin]

I bet you have. You’ve seen it in so many iterations, but I bet you have never grown tired of it, despite the changes. It is still a great track, both from driver and spectator view

[Aysedasi]

There were better incarnations. But no, I will never get tired of it because the event is so much more than just a track or just a race. If you haven't experienced it, you'll never know....

[S griffin]

Well I guess that’s progress for you. But still one of the best tracks in the world, for both spectators and drivers. I guess some don’t know what they are missing, but never mind

[Aysedasi]

Have you been to Le Mans?

[S griffin]

No, but my late father managed to go there, as did my brother back in 2016 the year of the Toyota disaster

well, I guess you don't know what you are missing then, maybe come over to experience the race one time?
