Nice to see all the drivers confirmed, nonetheless -- hopefully Lieb can translate his GT prowess into speed in prototypes.  |
It was reported a couple of months ago that his LMP1 drive was conditional on the base of his performance in private testing. So we can assume that he actually ended up as fast (or almost as fast) as his teammates. His engineering expertise is undeniable though and will be a big asset.
