So we have 9 seats left...who are the star drivers without a seat???
Would love to see Simonsen get a seat after being signed to Autorlando (didn't get selected) and Tafel (withdrew) |

I believe since Larbre only got one car in, you may see "gentlemen" drivers in that car.
I think their original plan was to have two saleens, a professional one and another that paid a few bills. Since they only got one entry, it doomed their chances at an class podium. |

Vitaphone aka Strakka should not be allowed. A Larbre Saleen wouldve been much better than a slow Aston.

I agree, I was going to support Vitaphone in their quest at Le Mans but after what has happened Strakka will not get my support as I believe they don't deserve to be there by simply 'buying' an entry. If they had a good lineup and were contenders then I might see things differently but they are not.
I think we might see Bouchut in either the Lambo or the Saleen but I can't see him sitting out Le Mans. Bouchut and Kox in the Lambo would be great. |

add to that kumpen, bertollini, bartels, kirkaldy, negrao etc etc etc.
Bouchut is probably not going to be on the gird...someone's missing out. |

Still no detail on exactly which chassis Autocon will race at Le Mans. Brand new chassis which will return with them to the States after Le Mans (and with which engine)? The 2nd Creation Aim Le Mans Series chassis? And if they are leasing the 2nd Le Mans Series chassis for the race, will they therefore be running with an AIM engine?
And Creation drivers for Le Mans? Only Stuart Hall is contracted for the season as far as I'm aware and Felipe Ortiz appears to no longer be part of team, which leaves two seats to fill. Robbie Kerr? Simon Pagenaud? Thomas Serwin? |

Very sad news for Ortelli, but Pagenaud is an absolutely cracking replacement! |

Autosport (mag version) last week said that he was in talks to replace J C-W for Le Mans, Stefan should be back with Highcroft for Petit.

Has Saulnier confirmed their LMP1 lineup yet. Even though the gentlemen would surely like to drive in the race, I'm sure all would be better served if they put in some pros. If Nicolet pursued a top lineup, that car could go from rolling chicane to contender. Why don't they put an all-star lineup of "leftovers", ie Gounon, Bouchut, and maybe Johansson or Cochet together?

Now your talking ..... let the chicane drivers peddle the LMP2 car instead , if they gotta peddle something . Their way too dangerous for a track like le mans .
