Romain Dumas/Timo Bernhard/Neel Jani

Mark Webber/Nick Heidfeld/Jean-Karl Vernay
Of course, but I think Fassler was not very well experienced in LMP1 before to be a glorious member of Audi Jost...
It all depends from what they think to do in 2014: race to make experience or race to win? Knowing Porsche, I think they are more focused on the second hypotesis...
Then, I would not make on the same car three endurance unexperienced drivers like Heidfeld, Webber and Vernay. They may be fast, but I'm not sure they may compete at the same level of endurance experienced drivers.

P.S.
Heidfeld is a Porsche buyer, at the same way of Webber... If I'm not wrong, he's the owner of a 996 GT2. Is just a casuality?
