OK, so it was Brands , but he is very misterious about the reason.

Nope. He clearly states that his pictures can be seen in a Philips ad soon.
Lot of fuzz about nothing...

The Russian sponsor (Interprogress Bank) has no money. That's also the reason why Roman Rusinov didn't race at Spa. It's not really a surprise that they pull out of Le Mans, because Spa was already very doubtful. It was a 'miracle' they raced there.

Well maybe Dave Richards will be able to snatch Kox for a seat in one of the Astons after all? Or else,if we have another withdrawel,the second Spyker could be piloted by Peter?

I mean,for us dutch it's allready a shame we wont see Jan Lammers at Le Mans for the first time in two decades and now missing Kox would really rough up my temper...

I wonder if Porsche have enough factory drivers left over to fill the 2nd Felbermayr Proton Porsche with Factory drivers should it get in.

In that case I would expect the IMSA deal to be called off - why should the Felbermayrs drive for another team if they have 2 cars?

Hopefully Kox will get a drive somewhere else until then.

There's no other Factory Porsche drivers left to distribute now. Richard Westbrook actually is not one this season so we shall see if he races but looking at his performances in the Porsche Supercup and in FIA GT, he should be in the running for a spot in the Asia team. But it all depends on the money I guess!

Think any of the Corsa guys will end up in any of the 2 Ginetta Zyteks or are the drives already clinched to the 3 guys that have raced for the LNT and Strakka cars so far?

And what's gonna happen to Modena? Only Leo Mansell can race for them at Le Mans since Antonio Garcia is already committed to Corvette and Melo is in the Risi car. They're gonna have to find some new guys.

Plenty of decent Fiat drivers out there . Farnbacher or Muller from ALMS last year for example .

Wonder who might get in the Barazi car ..... Barazi-Rees and ? ..... nice to see Fernandez back again !!!

Why shouldn't they if it gets yet another Strong Porsche on the grid, are you a Ferrari fan by any chance?

What are you talking about...what does that have do with anything?

If you think expecting the Felbermayrs to prefer driving for their own team if they have two cars is the result of some kind of fanboyism I don't think there can be a reasonable discussion.

I think the Felbermayrs would drive anything, whether it be one of the IMSA cars or one of Christian Ried's cars.

Any idea on the JLOC Lambo ?

What car are they using for example ?

Is it a Reiter car ?

I wonder at the entry , based on past performances at Le Mans , they need to start showing that they can do it , by now anyway .

Gutted about IPB. Wonder if they will feature in the LMS for the rest of the year? If they're not at Silverstone in September I will be very, very sad!
