Johnny Herbert

Yow · 25 Mar 2005, 21:52 (Ref:1261909)

Where is Johnny Herbert racing this year? All the race seats at champion audi and french audi have been filled. I checked out his website, but no new updates since december. It was nice to see Johnny back racing in the alms for champion for petit le mans and laguna sega last year. I was hoping to see him again this year...

As it stands at the momment nothing. There is rummour around that he may end up the DTM driving an MG. As it stand he only has one confirmed drive and that is an Jaguar D-Type at the support race for this years Le Mans, I just hope he gets a drive for the main event.

I think the fact he intends to be in La Sarthe in June says it all! He clearly wants to be part of the main event.

I agree, let's hope he is given the opportunity to come out to play in the afternoon.

anybody got any ideas on where we could find him a seat, or is everything half decent already taken?

Good question kdr...what about the RfH Dome? or the factory one?

Jantje, are you listening?

Totally agree but didn't lammers last year mention that this year he wanted to enter a car with the best of Dutch motorsport in it?
Maybe with just one entry he can make a combination of this and experienced former drivers, let's say : Lammers-Luyendijk-Herbert????????

Mark Perkins (Johnny's manager) is trying very hard. Maserati turned him down at the last minute because De Simone brought money...SO maybe DTM, A1 GP or Masters Series.

An Aston Martin with Blundell, Brundle and Herbert?

I'd call that the dream ticket!

I'm guessing Johnny isn't interested in GT's now that the Maserati deal has fallen through? With prototype drives (are Zytek racing this year? I forget) nearly all gone it seems he'd be a shoe in for a couple of the bigger GT teams.

Don't expect Verstappen at Le Mans...too many gravel traps around the place...
