The same can be said for lieb and some other. Surely luhr can be a good spot! a line up like bernhard/dumas/luhr will be amazing.

Wurz is 186 cm, 8 cm less than Bergmeister. It was the same Berg to tell in an old interview, how he was excluded by LMP2 program due his tall. Bergmeister, Lieb, Lietz and all the others Porsche factory drivers, have been trained in the Porsche Academy, were drivers are trained to drive any car Porsche produces to race in any series the manufacturer is involved. So, Porsche drivers are trained to drive any car from GT to LMPs (source Autosprint, an article about Porsche Academy).
Ok, Berg has not a real racing experience in LMP, but I think he may learn fast, at the same way of Lieb and Lietz. They are first class drivers, they have racing in the blood.
Bernhard, Dumas and Luhr have been trained in the same structure were Berg, Lieb, Lietz, Maassen and co. were trained.
Porsche invests very much in its drivers, and results speak for themselves. No other manufacturers do things in this way.
