Lots of good professional drivers we have seen in IMSA in recent years who were left with no ride when programs ended. Ryan Briscoe ending up with Glickenhaus ride is great. Hope other drivers benefit from this as well. Including a certain "platnum" american driver profiled by Marshall Pruett in Racer recently.

Have all parts arrived or do you assemble as they arrive bit by bit?
I could imagine it is quite exiting seeing things come together for the first time, wether they fit together or not.

No doubt. Leaves some good ones on the sidelines too. I was hoping for Joey Hand to get in there. Aside from that very impressive. Pla, Dumas, Westbrook, Derani, Briscoe, Menezes. The only one I never heard of is Mailleux. Who the heck is he?

Excellent news, although I am not sure how 7 drivers fit in unless it is to cover clashes with other series.

Mailleux is a Glickenhaus Nurburgring specialist. Also has lots of LMP1 and LMP2 experience.

Raced regularly at Le Mans between 2009 and 2014. Second in LMP2 in 2011. As Mike says, he's been a bit of a 'Ring specialist for the last few years.

Franck has also been involved with the Glickenhaus Nurburgring entries the last few years. Bit of an internal promotion to the LMH program.

The drivers' line up is not great. A lot of weak links.

Got to admit, it takes some balls to tell the guy in charge that he's done a bad job.


Are you going to let us know who these weak links are, or going to keep that a secret?

Dumas is no longer a factory material.
Have some doubts on Franck Mailleux on a top class prototype.
Menezes is a risky bet.

Briscoe, Pla, Pipo and Westbrook are fine.

Seriously? I think you're out of touch. The four you mention probably come below Dumas and Menezes for me.

I'm not too convinced on Dumas either.
Maybe he's useful for developing a car, but for racing LMP cars I think there are better choices around?

Oh I agree there would be people I'd put in the car first, but for a new project, trying to attract proven drivers, I think they've done a good job.

My jaw has genuinely dropped that anyone is criticizing the line up.

Wasn't too long ago that half the top class had a gentleman driver in the lineup. Million miles from that here.

Totally agree. I can only assume that some either think that Lotterer and Jani are free or that Toyota are releasing all their drivers.....

Disagree, Menezes did great in rebellion last year. I actually think that Briscoe, Derani and Menezes in the same car would be a line-up even better than toyota #7 and #8 since I think Lopez and Hartley are not as good and constant as the other drivers.
