it'll be cool to have Firman back in JGTC/Super GT... he did really well with the NSX before his F1 forray and hopefully he can bring the NSX back into contention against the Nissans and Toyotas

Why was Cochet dropped? Is he heading back to Europe to race for Courage, perhaps?

Let's hope it leads to a race seat, then. Courage is entering the LMES, right?

Right. The whole season with the C60 Hybrid + LM, of course.

I have followed Jonathans career since his early F3 days and i have to say i am begining to wonder if the poor bloke is cursed, dropped in Nippon before he had a fair crack of the whip, same in WS Nissan, then Courage last year and now this, ok Firman knows his way around the tracks out there but come on, why sign JC and then drop him before he even has a chance to race, surely he has a Courage seat tied up, if not he must be wondering why he even bothers.

Excellent news on the Firman front, bizarre move from Team Honda as far as Cochet is concerned though.
