Failing dampers and running on 5 cylinders for half the race.

Looks like at least 3 first rate teams for Ferrari and Porsche and 2 apiece for BMW and Corvette. Should be a dandy 24 hour race this year.

I cant see any chance of the 2nd Ford getting in now , shame . Nothing in PRO/AM looks like dropping out .

I thought possibily the JMB 430 might , but they have just confirmed their 3 crew .

Previous to Ferrari , he was also very quick in the 996 Porsche's .

To be honest ..... I dont know . Love to say differant ..... time will tell I guess . Its getting a bit long in the tooth , trying to get that extra few seconds outta it each year , gotta stop someplace .

They have had their fair share of engine related issues this year .

But Im still hoping for a Lizards win .

Spyderman · 12 May 2011, 08:03 (Ref:2879134)

Not so much engine as gearbox/clutch.
IMSA #76 had a problem with fuel starvation at Spa.
It has been a nightmare start to the season for Porsche, but maybe they have exhausted their bad luck and LeMans will turn it all around. The Felbermayr boys continue to be upbeat.

Wish they had've swapped the cars but then again the Robertsons pay the bills.

Leh keen announced as third driver for Farnbacher for Le Mans.

After last year's results at the Nurburgring and Le Mans, predictable yet wise choice.

Yet he was very slow and often crashing the 997 in FIA GT.

Did he ..... I missed that part , honestly !!!

I always thought he was a great driver ..... must be the old brain cells .

The Badger · 12 May 2011, 14:55 (Ref:2879341)

I reckon we will see Henzler in with Lieb , and Pilet in with IMSA .

Still 2 places to fill in the 2nd Pro Felbermayr car , with Tandy .

Al Faisel and Pumpelly were driving the 2nd Felbermayr at the test day so i guess Al Faisel will fill one of those spots, no idea on the 3rd spot though as Pumpelly is with Lizards.

I think IMSA Matmut mentioned some time ago that their Le Mans line-up was going to be Narac-Pilet-Armindo. Probably some time between Ricard and the Le Mans test day.

Sascha Maassen perhaps? The reserve entry for which he was designated has been pulled, so I suspect he can be driving for another team now.

Spyderman · 12 May 2011, 15:24 (Ref:2879357)

Perhaps Holzer?

What about Timo Scheider? No DTM race that weekend. Other drivers that come to mind are two ex-Porsche Factory drivers, Emmanuel Collard & Sascha Maassen. And also there is Jeroen Bleekemolen.

Jeroen is the third driver in one of the Rebellion Lolas.

NightStalk3r · 12 May 2011, 16:54 (Ref:2879418)

And Collard is with Pescarolo, and i dont think we will see Scheider this year
Maassen is possible at Prospeed but i doubt he will be with Felbermayr Proton.

The Badger · 12 May 2011, 17:15 (Ref:2879435)

Love ta see Damian Faulkner get a spin .

Simmi · 12 May 2011, 19:20 (Ref:2879516)

Porsche driver line-ups are not my strong point but could we expect to see Martin Ragginger in any of those vacant slots?

Victor_RO · 12 May 2011, 19:36 (Ref:2879528)

He hasn't raced in previous years I believe, he hasn't driven at the test day this year, so my guess is "no".
