Porsche PR should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
A couple of items here in response to some of these posts:

--It is only the Porsche Junior team now - UPS is no longer involved.
--Although Porsche Board member in charge of R&D and motorsports stated in December of 2008 that Porsche would like to build a prototype that runs on alternative fuels, there is no active LMP1 hybrid project, and Timo and Romain are not scheduled to drive this non-existant race car.
--The web site lists the 2009 factory drivers simply as there is no 2010 list to replace it yet. Some years, it is February before we make such as announcement as every driver negotiates his own contract with Porsche Motorsport, and some get done quicker than others. In 2003, Alex Job's factory drivers didn't sign until the week of the Sebring race.
--Most of the conjecture I see here has some truth to it, but most of it has some wrong information as well - and things could change before the final list is compiled due to availability of customer cars and their sponsor situations, series rules which might determine who enter what and where, and budget.
