So Jarvis has lost his DTM seat. That explains why he is on the Le Mans entry list. Perhaps he will get some more driving time in the R18, for instance as the team mate of Bernhard and Dumas in Sebring and Spa.

Another option is that Jarvis together with Fassler go to one of Audi's GT3 teams, e.g., WRT.
That does clear up the date clashes with other series quite nicely, though as you said I suspect GT3 ringer is a more likely destination for him.

Fassler drove a few times with WRT last year. At least Spa. Would be a good choice for the 2 drivers.

I'm guessing it'll be an unexpected name or two filling one of the seats. I think there are 3 openings and most big name drivers are already accounted for. We'll see.

That implies that the surprise is not technical, but in the driver lineup, as suggested by AGD.

I wonder how much of a redesign there will be (if any) when they show off the cars?

Hoping for a serious driver announcement or two and also a big livery change. Not holding my breathe for the latter.

No, Sarrazin is doing the ELMS for Loeb Racing and the WEC with Starworks (both in LMP2).
