DSC reporting that Extreme Speed Motorsport are selling ONE of their Ferraris in 2013 spec. Only ONE of their cars. So this sounds like they're still keeping one car in 2012 spec to take to Le Mans.

You would think that it will be a Tucker/Franchitti/Briscoe driver lineup for Le Mans on Michelin tires. That is defiantly going to be a favorite for the class win.

Would be great to see Briscoe back in prototype and to make his Le Mans debut.
I've not really been keeping up with the IndyCar off-season. Is he definitely out of a drive? |

Looking more and more likely with each passing day, I suspect he might get a one-off drive at Indy and that's about it, and that would release the Le Mans test day and race weekend in his schedule.

I'm looking forward to seeing the full list of drivers when that's released, because I bet there'd be enough talent there to replace all the questionable pay drivers in F1.
Davidson, Buemi, Senna, Di Grassi and potentially Kobayashi as well...there's probably more of an overlap in driving talent with F1 than at any other point since the turn of the milllenium. |

One thing entry list related to come out of MWM last night was that it seems the #98 Aston crew appear to be nailed on to make the race. So that opens up the questions a) who is dropping out and b) who will be driving that car with three seats open? |

I was also wondering whether we might see Andrew Howard do it and bring Beechdean branding back to Le Mans. Maybe even with Aston's reserve driver Daniel McKenzie? |

We could also add Jonny Adam to the reserve AM Aston mix it seems:

"Important announcement" to be made by the ACO at Le Mans next week at 11:30 am CET. Any bets on what that will be?

Building work? Dream for me would be more pits for 2014. New sportscar entry? No idea. |

Seems like maybe the ACO are taking a leaf out of Nissan's book and milking the announcement. It makes perfect sense really. Like others I just hope it's something good.

Not a surprise I suppose.
The most intriguing thing is that Aston have received permission to switch the entry to a GT PRO car! So in terms of the overall GT fight it's a net gain I suppose. So who will the drivers be? |

Stuart Hall is listed as designated driver. Perhaps Johnny Adam and Danny McKenzi (official AM reserve drivers) as well although they might end up in one of the Am cars.
GTE-Pro #97 Turner-Bell?-Dumbreck? #98 Hall-Adam?-McKenzi? #99 Mucke-Senna?-Makowiecki? GTE-Am #95 Simonsen-Nygaard-Poulsen #96 Goethe-Campbell Walter?-? And Dalla Lana + Johnson + Lamy, the crew of the second Sebring car could also be in the running. Last edited by Coach Ep; 1 Mar 2013 at 18:29. |

I think Hall is confirmed now as moved to the #96. He was just on the #98 as a place-holder. I don't really see why you'd put AM guys like McKenzie into a PRO car when you could just leave it as AM and perhaps pick up a result. Could this be where David Brabham finally pops up? More scope for some one-off drives here so let's see. |

EDIT: No mention of any driver in this release: http://www.astonmartin.com/en/racing...2-ff00007a0a98 Elsewhere SRT have confirmed their line-ups (so that list needs changing again). Goossens/Farnbacher/Dalziel Kendall/Wittmer/Bomarito http://www.srtmotorsports.com/news/p...er-lineup.html Makes perfect sense to have a 'lead' car with the faster guys in.
