So that's at least one Riley in the race. And Bleekemolen in a competitive car.

Invitation in GTE-Am Q re Keating's invite: requirement for the invite to be granted is a full season entry in one of the ACO endorsed series, does it have to be the car, team or driver? Keating has already stated he's not planning extra WEC rounds with his 'team' and car so maybe they'll enter the ELMS?? Or is VisitFlorida's car the one fulfilling the requirement (in IWSC)??? |

At the 24h of Daytona, Nicolas Lapierre has said that DragonSpeed wants to do Le Mans this year, with the Oreca Gibson. He also said that he will drive for Signatech Alpine again, but that was already confirmed.

G-Drive confirmed full-season entry, run by TDS for Rusinov/Thiriet. Third seat is possibly Will Stevens.
http://www.dailysportscar.com/2017/0...-with-tds.html The report also mentions that Jota are close to announcing a WEC programme |

Why do G Drive change their team every season?

As mentioned in the Toyota LMP1 thread, a third car is sounding likely.

Jarvis has signed with Bentley to drive the Continental GT3. Wouldn't there be clashes?

All VAG LMP1 drivers are banned to test or drive for a other LMP1 manufactor like Toyota by their contracts. So Duval, Jarvis, DiGrassi, etc. are out of business.
Most likely it will be Sarrazin | Hirakawa | Derani. |

One of Duval's DTM dates clashes with LM (Hungary IIRC), so he's out even if he wanted to and wasn't banned (first I've heard of specific no-VAG clause though). I'd still say a certain Brundle would also be a fine shout, amongst a few other quick, young drivers. |

Vilander at Risi is interesting, real shakeup at AF Corse it seems.
