Hmm, preparatory for bringing the Dyson team in '10?

I would love to see the Dyson team at Le Mans .

However , he talked about bringing his R&S ..... and it never happened !

He talked about his B160 , and it also never happened . All he does is talk about it , but it never happens . I think he is a bit of a dreamer with respect to Le Mans . Becasue he has had some fine machinery over the years , well able to compete againt the rest .

I cant see him at Le Mans ever ..... just my impression .

I'm not as pessimistic as you. I believe, if Mazda wants to run Le Mans with a really good chance of winning their class, they may provide some funding to Dyson as they (Dyson) are a very well run outfit and would have a reasonable chance of succeeding, especially with Porsche and Acura off to P1.

Andy Wallace available...

Aston Martin needs three more drivers...

Oh please, let it happen!

If funding comes along , Im sure they will be there too .

The Badger · 7 Mar 2009, 08:38 (Ref:2410853)

Moreau-Maassen have signed for LAA , im sure they will be part for their 2 cars LM campaign too .

Maassen shows some promise but Moreau has really been an eye opener and has some real talent.

Im not sure what this is all about , but It looks like Bruno Senna , Ayrtons nephew will either drive of test an Oreca Courage for Oreca !!!

That will make big headlines .

The359 · 8 Mar 2009, 10:06 (Ref:2411466)

Just a test so far, confirmation for anything after the Paul Ricard test.

cmk · 9 Mar 2009, 02:29 (Ref:2411779)

One has to think that if Hughes needs to re-attract some of the French attention from the Peugeot brigade and Henri, it would not hurt to toss Solberg and Senna in with his regular pairings for the big one!

Erw · 24 Mar 2009, 20:34 (Ref:2423908)

Any news if Jan Lammers wil be at Le Mans this year?

**Bentley03** · 24 Mar 2009, 21:02 (Ref:2423942)

DSC reporting that Bruno Senna has signed for Oreca. He'll drive alongside Stephane Ortelli and A.N.Other TBC.

rich07 · 24 Mar 2009, 22:55 (Ref:2424029)

Wow!! Didnt expect that too happen but he hasnt got much else on his plate for this year. Ortelli should be an excellent mentor for Bruno in all things endurance.

It is still possible that he will also have DTM on his plate this year according to Touring Car Times.

rich07 · 25 Mar 2009, 00:27 (Ref:2424081)

I forget about DTM, that would be quite interesting if it happens. So with Senna signed what are the chances of Solberg at LM??

The Badger · 30 Mar 2009, 09:00 (Ref:2428793)

Pescarolo has Boullion-Pagenaud-Trelyer in the Pug ..... with Tinseau-Barbosa-Jouanny in the Pesca LMP1 .

I thought Barbosa had only been confirmed for the LMS, but it would be great to see him at the 24hrs.

cmk · 31 Mar 2009, 22:28 (Ref:2430136)

I do not believe the Pesca LM lineup has been confirmed either, but that is the odds-on bet.

The359 · 2 Apr 2009, 08:22 (Ref:2431101)

Audi confirms Bernhard and Dumas to complete their Le Mans driver lineup. They didn't specify who was in what car, but I presume it'll be Bernhard/Dumas/Luhr in the #3.

Hope that does turn out to be the combination. It's a trio that could push Nishy, TK and Dindo all the way.

I was actually waiting for one or other of those two to be announced with Vitaphone. Now wondering if there's another forfeit in the offing...........hope not.

As Franchitti will be on the Drayson squad for June , where will Sugden be ? Again with Bell-Bruni or ?

Bruni is not confirmed for JMW as far as I know, but Bell and Sugden are.

According to the Jos Verstappen website: Verstappen is talking with Pescarolo for a Lemans drive. Intresting?

Quote : (in dutch)

Maar er is nog een ander team."

Vertel! Wat speelt er?
"Ik heb vorige week nog contact gehad met Pescarolo Sport. Zij zoeken nog een rijder voor hun LMP1 team en willen mij graag in hun auto hebben. Misschien dat ik daar aan het eind van de maand voor kan testen. Komende week hebben we weer contact."
Gaat het dan alleen over de 24 Uur van Le Mans of ook nog over de Le Mans Series? "Beide." En is het de auto met Judd benzine motor of de Peugeot 908 diesel die Pescarolo in Le Mans inzet? "De benzine auto. Die deed het goed in Barcelona en is daar tweede geworden op veertien seconden achterstand. Met een andere coureur hadden ze kunnen winnen, zei Pescarolo."
Positief dus?
"Zeker. Alleen voor Le Mans weet je dan dat je eigenlijk geen kans maakt met de diesels van Audi en Peugeot die daar ook rijden. Wat ik al zei, het is een lastige keuze."

Any news about Jan Lammers??
