Which leads me to my question. Who is "Steve Brooks" who will drive the #89 Porsche this weekend ? I see he has quite a strong background in historic racing but does anyone know who's the man behind the man:

"The ‘nom de plume’ ‘Steve Brooks is actually 65-year-old French racer Philippe Haezebrouck who will be making his six Le Mans start, his best result today came on his debut in 2001 when he finished second in GT with Gunnar Jeannette and future double overall winner and WEC World Champion Romain Dumas."
