NelisB should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
With these new F1 rules I guess they could really make the jump to the WEC

So, the return of Ferrari is now definitely confirmed...

In the Youtube video Alonso seems to be just as a driver very curious about another type of car he has never driven before.

Like Bella said in the F1 sub-forum, this is when F1 jumped the shark. All the better for us and the WEC.

I think they were wondering what the fender was. F1 people, so they'd probably never seen one before...

So I've started the entry list for next year, does it look like I'm missing any confirmed entries so far? (and yes, I need to add references for all of the entries)

Will be interesting to see how this fills out. Have Rebellion confirmed all those drivers for next year? I've only seen them announce Prost.

Apart from Prost I think Beche is confirmed, not sure about Heidfeld (don't think he has signed with anyone else so far). If they are running two cars, then Beche might be in the other car.

Also, Porsche hasn't actually announced who will be paired with who in the two entries.

Found this on their website.

"
As declared previously, REBELLION Racing confirms that the team will enter two R-One cars in the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans."

True. Smartest thing IMO to do is split Bernhard and Dumas across the two cars given they have the most experience from testing.

The Toyota has been confirmed to be called TS040.

Do you have the exact source for this? IIRC it was a Vasselon interview

Neither of those are very good sources for Wikipedia and without retrievable links, not really exact sources at all. But I'd leave it there, not so strickly by the rules, but it is most likely going to be right. :P

Vasselon is the technical director of TMG, his word is as good as it gets. If you wonder where the naming came from, motorsport-total.com has the interview.

Yes, but it wouldn't surprise me if Porsche likes the idea of having Dumas/Bernhard in the same car as a sort of 'lead car.' That line-up was absolutely incredible in the DHL Penske Spyder back in the ALMS glory days.

Autumn (northern hemisphere) start considered for WEC
Interesting. This has been discussed at some length already but it looks like it could actually happen. I think it is a good idea.

Only way to have LM be the season finale, and also removes most of the worries with F1 or TUSCC clashes or similar date clashes.

Also discussed is a second US/NA race, but not likely to happen very soon, and probably won't be a shared weekend with TUSCC.

I like the winter idea itself, but not LM as the finale, because the problem is that it is bigger than the championship itself. Imagine if team X wins LM while team Y finishes 2nd and wins the championship... on that day Sunday nobody will care because they lost LM.

I wonder what is the minimum downtime the teams need after Le Mans for another European race. Perhaps they could schedule the finale in the summer after Le Mans?

If a scenario like that unfolded, I think the situation could be more like "everybody wins". Each team will celebrate their achievement - whatever may be.

Plus the drama surrounding LM will be ratcheted up. I think it's brilliant for a world championship.

2. COTA - October
3. Fuji - November
4. Shanghai - December
5. Bahrain - February
6. Silverstone - April
