Very odd. Hope that isn't indicative of the rest of the program....but they already switched teams so maybe switching drivers isn't a surprise?

Im wondering how much seat-time these guys actually have? I know they car has tested a few times, but are these drivers even that familiar with it? Perhaps they're picked because they were the fastest in testing.

Garcia has tested but he's been dropped. Maybe he could send them a postcard with some tips on it.

Currently it undoubtedly is. How much more can be extracted out of Isotta, time will tell. As for the pricing, hard to say how much they might ask The 963 costs $2.9 million so Isotta would have to be cheaper than that (preferrably). Also it's hard to advertise your car to potential customers when you have two rookies behind the wheel...

Not everyone is Porsche though nor can they be or attain one. They may be tapped out in terms of customers. In terms of being better, sure the Porsche is right now (bop aside). But there's still a business case to be made for Isotta. I hope to see another one instead of the 8th 963.

That’s my confident answer, reasonable guess, and pretty certain answer. The only issue is Porsche availability. |

Driver Comparison
Two Silvers and a Platinum. How do they measure up? Here are a comparison of average lap times and the spread in the first two races.
Round 1 Qatar Average Lap time
Serravalle drops away quickly, but that could be a function of having less laps and hence opportunity. Or maybe less laps because of the pace. Bennett got the most laps. Round 2 Imola Average Lap time
More of a gradual increase between the Vernay and Bennett. Fairly consistent in the changing conditions. Although I've not matched when they were running to the conditions. |
