Shame he's partnered with a gentleman driver like Leonard though instead of another Audi hot shoe.

No sarcasm and all dues given they did win the title last year but Frijins is in another league to Leonard.

Would be interesting to see Frijins paired with another pro Audi driver like Mies but im sure there's reasons for that and Im not Vincent Vosse

I’d swap Riberas and Frijns round, that’d clearly be one ultra competitive team and one strong team then

Some of the testing budgets must be huge, some teams seem to be testing almost constantly.

I totally regret buying plane tickets for Monza BES. Lack of new cars, almost the same drivers and teams as 2017 edition.

Hmm, i think there has been quite a change...

2x Pro 'new' Lexus,
2x Pro Aston Martin,
2x new Bentley,
1x new Nissan GT-R,
1x Pro Porsche
- less WRT Audi
- Attempto switch from Lambo to Audi
- SMP has a Mercedes entry now to
- RAM enters a Merc
- Strakka switch to Merc
- Garage59 is back with McLaren
- Parker back with a old Bentley
- ...
Than there are the driver changes.

Oh indeed no doubt. WRT wouldn’t have achieved as much so far without his driving force and steady hand.

M8, and ford are GTE, not eligible for Blancpain

I think you are confusing series and or car categories

The 2 Pro Aston’s are very exciting. Remember what happened last time Billie was entered for the odd Endurance round. Aston has only been represented by the Oman team for the last year or two which has blessed us with being able to watch Jonny Adam in full flight.

I didn't buy a plane ticket for Monza this year. Instead, I'll road trip down to Monza because Monza.
