Lots of good professional drivers we have seen in IMSA in recent years who were left with no ride when programs ended. Ryan Briscoe ending up with Glickenhaus ride is great. Hope other drivers benefit from this as well. Including a certain "platnum" american driver profiled by Marshall Pruett in Racer recently.

Have all parts arrived or do you assemble as they arrive bit by bit?
I could imagine it is quite exiting seeing things come together for the first time, wether they fit together or not. |

Excellent news, although I am not sure how 7 drivers fit in unless it is to cover clashes with other series.
Mailleux is a Glickenhaus Nurburgring specialist. Also has lots of LMP1 and LMP2 experience. |

Franck has also been involved with the Glickenhaus Nurburgring entries the last few years. Bit of an internal promotion to the LMH program.

We have 7 drivers because as The Grateful Dead said too much is just right.

The drivers' line up is not great. A lot of weak links.

Dumas is no longer a factory material.
Have some doubts on Franck Mailleux on a top class prototype. Menezes is a risky bet. Briscoe, Pla, Pipo and Westbrook are fine. |

I'm not too convinced on Dumas either.
Maybe he's useful for developing a car, but for racing LMP cars I think there are better choices around? |

Oh I agree there would be people I'd put in the car first, but for a new project, trying to attract proven drivers, I think they've done a good job.

My jaw has genuinely dropped that anyone is criticizing the line up.
Wasn't too long ago that half the top class had a gentleman driver in the lineup. Million miles from that here. |

Totally agree. I can only assume that some either think that Lotterer and Jani are free or that Toyota are releasing all their drivers.....

Disagree, Menezes did great in rebellion last year. I actually think that Briscoe, Derani and Menezes in the same car would be a line-up even better than toyota #7 and #8 since I think Lopez and Hartley are not as good and constant as the other drivers.
