The livery does its job at being really disorientating :p

I like the front, looks low and bulky.

Choose out the mechanics, red and white kit, possible the colours for the final livery?

Maybe, the GTE team already uses something like that: http://i.imgur.com/y1oP2cb.jpg

Well, that's why the current "Lotus-Praga" P2 is built to 2014 dimensions.

Neel Jani is confirmed as a driver for Porsche in 2014. I'm surprised, but positively surprised!

His laptimes at Le Mans where extremely good. He was sometimes several seconds faster than his teammates.

From an AGP driver to a Toro Rosso test driver to a Porsche factory driver!

Assuming there will be a pair of Porsches, who are the drivers so far?

Crossing my fingers for Jörg Bergmeister, but I imagine some of Porsche's Nurby24 heroes might trump him.

Rene Rast deserves a spot, IMO.

Good GT driver doesn´t necessarily mean good LMP driver. I hope they get Rockenfeller as well, he just belongs with Dumas and Bernard (although I think he is now more Audi than Porsche).

His height might be a problem.

They could steal another driver from Rebellion too: Heidfeld :)

Rast has been driving Audis more than Porsches recently which was interesting. I expect he'll get a spot in an Audi once Fassler and Gene, the 2 weakest current drivers move down to Audi GT programs.

yes, and that's why I also think there is some risk in hiring Rast, albeit is indeed mighty on GT cars.

Heidfeld would be a nobrainer for me. His is very quick and reliable driver, plus a very likeable one too :D

and if Porsche's car turns competitive and they put Quick Nick together with Webber in one of their cars, then rivals gonna be in serious trouble, me thinks

Press release (Jani): http://www.endurance-info.com/version2/ ... 19058.html

Besides Webber and Heidfeld, Jean-Karl Vernay has been rumored. I guess also any of their GT drivers is automatically a rumor. 3rd car would mean three more drivers.

Me too. Won't be there until later in the morning on Saturday though. Hope to be able to find a good spot on top of the hill.

My favorite place to watch from is on the far side of West Bend, down past the bridge on the outside of the Downhill.
