Well her previous codriver is staying at Scuderia Corse so she'll need a new codriver. Lally has been there, developed the car, knows the team so if she were to go to MSR I think it is safe to assume they would recommend him as her codriver and she seems to be dedicated to her race craft enough to know a good thing when it's in front of her. But have I used small enough words you could make a connection that most would have assumed already?

Rahal is surprising, he has been very mediocre in Indycar for a long time now

Erm, not for the last 3 years he hasn't. Top 6 in the championship with race wins every season in the last 3 seasons, and would have been top Honda runner in all 3 if it hadn't been for Scott Dixon this year. (Yes, he's been mediocre for a very long time, but it's almost like he's been a different racer since the winter of 2014-2015)

Shank's been shopping customer seats w/ Lally as the pro co-driver. But yes, who knows what's going to actually happen. |

I hope WTR looks at an American driver to be the full season driver. To tab another European, Englishman, etc would be kind of disappointing. |

Probably linked to how much sportscar experience they possess as well, Graham has done DP and IIRC a few races in GTLM for BMW, I'm not sure Power or Newgarden have any significant sportscar experience.

Yeah, but neither did castroneves before his Porsche p2 experiences a few years back.

I'm assuming Rahal is signed to HPD as a factory driver, and that's the link here. That's all I can figure.

Ah yes, the infamous if you only knew what I do. The last refuge of those who usually don't know. And seemingly the thing everyone rips Atherton for. If everyone on here who claims to know inside things did, we'd have a rep from every team.
Was fun but I'm out of sportscars until Daytona, just not worth reading all the chaff Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk |

Mike Shank is working quite hard to retain Lally-Nielsen did bring money to Scuderia Corsa and I cant see MSR being more expensive then Scuderia Corsa so they'd be a good fit.
Its a crying shame that her and Balzan are split up in the first place as they are a really good driver pairing. Now Balzan's stuck being a babysitter. Awesome... |

Fernando Alonso could race the Rolex 24 at Daytona with United Autosports in 2018.
