Drivers You Would Like To See In Sportscars?
Is there any drivers you would like to see have a chance to drive a sportscars who currently aren't.

I'm not about F1 drivers or even people from the DTM, just people who really impress in other categories.

Here's a couple to kick things off from me:-

Colin Turkington (BTCC)
Sam Bird (British F3)

Fully agree with Sam Bird, good call.

Apart from myself...

James Thompson/ Gabrielle Tarquini? WTCC.

I think Andy Priaulx would make an absolutely superb sportscar driver - now if only BMW could hurry up and get a car out there... Tiago Monteiro could possibly be quite alright too (just look at his consistency in F1)...

It would be good to see F1 drivers competing in LM, Seb managed to fit it in around Champ Car no problem. They justneed to reschedule the N.American jaunt.

I'd like to see what Raikkonen or Massa could do in one of the Risi 430s (or with Ferraris links with Shell, an R10 )

Wurz has said he wants to return to Sportscars. I wouldn't bet against him being in an Audi or Pug next year (LMS Audi?)

It would be nice to have Montangy back too, especially as hes out of a F1 drive at the moment.

Yea, and this is why I think that he should do full-time sportscars.

Now that Michael Schumacher has nothing to do but test Ferraris, how about seeing him in a 430 GT or in an Audi R10? He might know his way around a few tracks!

Someone asked him about Le Mans and he said it was 'too dangerous' my thoughts of which were 'wuss', an R10/430 has far more impact protection than an F1 car, and he obviously can't cope with the idea of racing anywhere without 2 miles of runoff area.

Dario, Marino and Tony Kanaan won the LMP2 class at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March 2007. It was Acura's first race.

Hope Ganassi will put Franchitti and Montoya on a Grandam car for the daytona 24H hopefully in the same team.

Seriously? You see him in Sauber Merc 90 and 91, more specifically LM91? The guy set the place on fire teatime and in to the evening.

His presence could, potentially, increase the brand image of sportscar racing. Love him or hate him, he has worldwide appeal

Yes , i was there too . He certainly was brilliant . If he was there again , you would have nothing but Schumacher coverage and his snotty little face all over the press .

No , I'd rather not see him there !!! Thank you
