I've learnt that in the last event of 2011 ILMC(Zhuhai) the sole Proton entry was no longer sponsored by Felbermayr, so the #77 was in black-white rather than their traditional Felbermayr blue. I'd guess their 2013 ELMS car is in the similar situation, only at Round3 when Felbermayr Jr & Sr got a car, both entry bears Felbermayr logo.

Now Felbermayr Sr is 69 years old, could be listed as a Bronze driver, exactly what AM class line up requires next year. On the other hand Felbermayr Jr is as fast as G.Roda and should be listed as a Silver rated driver.
They'll probably have to do a bit of driver swapping before they come to a solid conclusion about what the plans are for next year.

If Horst Sr had raced in the Le Mans 24 this year would he have been the oldest competitor?
