Good on him, can't wait to see what he'll try out next, maybe now he'll have done F1, WRC, NASCAR and LM, is there really much else to strike off the list without going to 2 wheels? Hmm Kimi in MotoGP, now that'd be worth watching!

This is where he should be going IMO. Provided he manages to stay awake I can see Kimi doing well in GT racing. He can have a cockpit fridge with Magnums and everything.

This probably won't be for the 24hr, unless he really does well. There are a few ILMC rounds remaining this year.

He more than likely won't be a Davidson replacement, but a Lamy replacement.

Pedro drove very little of the 24H this year, surprisingly little. He also had a face like a slapped backside, even more than the usual, standard Peugeot 'why did we not win, we are French, you should let us win' mask of despair on the podium. Strong rumours after the race that Quesnel fired him mid race, hence the lack of seat time. The rumour was only strengthened at the 6 Hours of Imola when Pedro drove a BMW. All rumour, nothing confirmed by either party.

It will be interesting to see the entries for Petit.

Not Top Alcohol though; his car would mysteriously keep running out of fuel...

It would certainly get his attention.

I guarantee that.

I think he is more keen on Motocross, and showed it by establishing motocross team. He actually rides those bikes time to time but not as a competitor.

Will be looking for more Le Mans news, though.

He has improved his rally skills this year and hopefully next year will continue and combine it with some GT races smile
