gregtummer should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
It's Sebring, anything could happen!

McNish could crash the car in GT traffic and Sebring could break the other Audi.

Muscle Milk would have finished 2nd last year and beaten 2 Audi's if they could have kept their car together!

I'd rather not see Audi there either. Regardless of their past ALMS history. IMO, them racing against privateers is as boring as watching paint dry in terms of challenging for the lead.

I'd rather see Audi there and drag Toyota along with them!

Unfortunately it won't happen because Sebring isn't on the WEC schedule

Well well, look who TRG stole for this year! Ben Keating & Damien Faulkner for the GTC campaign. Frankly, I was hoping for a full season for the Aston Martin Vantage GTE, but they may be saving up resources for next year.

I don't think this precludes the GT(E) effort.

I agree with Chris, but it would be nice to hear some news on the Aston GTE effort. Have they announced any drivers yet?

Damien Faulkner was confirmed as the driver of the Alex Job Racing GTC alongside Cooper MacNeil, so something's changed there. Could be as simple as Townsend Bell moving to GTC now that the Lotus program is over, of course.

Jeroen Bleekemolen is driving with Cooper in GTC. I think you've confused the Alex Job D24 lineup. :-)

So am I assuming too much if this leads me to believe the second Muscle Milk entry will be a PC?

Glad for Kyle if so but this is a bit of a letdown as we know they had been considering all 3 proto classes for a second entry.

I am 100% speculating, who knows, Kyle may have just been bored while at a gas station? My comment was based on Kyle being a funded driver who has bought PC rides in the past few seasons. I do believe though he has the ability to race in the pro classes, perhaps he is moving up. I spoke with a MM team member who said they were evaluating all 3 classes. Their foray into PC last year ended badly after just 2 races after a disagreement over seat time apparently. Too bad as Memo Gidley was one of the drivers.

Greaves Motorsport will go to Sebring with at least one car, if necessary they will bring all three Zyteks (if there is driver demand).

Well, ain't that good news.

Makes you believe Flying Lizards will be back in 2014 with the new Porsche in GT!

Late '14 or '15 is about when a new 4XX should be introduced, 5-6 years seems the norm. So a 2 year plan seems in line with that.

2015 is when the new combined GT class is supposed to be created; likely the team would want to see what the new rules will be before committing to a new car and class.

No, if it happens, they stated 2015 would be the earliest.

Great news indeed, the Rosso 458 was really missed last season in ALMS.

Be good to have a decent 458 team in the ALMS . They should wrap up 2013 title , imo .

With lizards gone and BMW to a new generation car, yes, but I don't think much has changed with the corvettes. I suspect we'll see some flashes of greatness but they would have to be at 110% out of the gate to wrap up the title.
