Is that team even running the WEC program or are they just paying AF to do it?

I don't think 8Star has an LMP2 chassis. I believe Starworks still has it for Alex Popow to run in the WEC.

Believe Potolicchio owns the championship winning car, see http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/artic...rks-part-ways/
He might be leasing it to Starworks for this year? |

So much for P2 (not that it was any good), Murphy will not be there...

A rumoured WEC + Sebring campaign has become ELMS only for Murphy. Makes you wonder if they had something in the pipeline that didn't happen or just wanted to rein things in a bit.

It probably is Level 5, even though it's not really that much of a surprise.

2 Extreme Speed Motorsport HPD's in - 2 ESM Ferrari's out!
http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/artic...class-revived/ Real surprise so glad it wasn't just another screaming headline. Likely to temp Level 5 into participation as well (1 car at least) and maybe, maybe Conquest will find the funding to run a P2 car as well (which seems rather unlikely at this point however). And then there is this: (talking about the Oreca 03, the P2 car) Quote:
from http://www.endurance-info.com/versio...nce-15833.html So Murphy still in the hunt? Or which of the dozen other Oreca 03 runners will come over? |

There was a rumor on twitter in Japanese that Oreca would run a Toyota. Not sure how truthful that is or when.

Maybe Hugues de Chaunac wants to try to win this great race one last time.
He got pretty emotional winning in 2011. |

Story was that Total fuel coughed up the wedge for the 2nd WEC entry , so quite possibily if De Chaunac can come up with the beanz , he may get Toyota's blessing , if it wont cost them ?

How likely is it that Oreca comes up with the budget to run the car on their own? More than slim... and I'm not even sure Toyota would be interested in seeing the car run under a non-factory banner right now.
Stop dreaming guys, there will be no Toyota on the grid in Sebring. |

I'm not sure where to put this, but for anyone who is travelling to Sebring this year, and is from out of the country, Florida now requires an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by your country of residence and a valid license from that country. This applies to any vehicle, including rental vehicles. This applies to Canadians as well.

Can someone enlighten me on the waivers that ESM specifically received? Seems like a pretty hot topic here.
