Your sports car racing dream team
Suppose you're planning on fielding a 2 car sports car team in the ALMS/LMS. Who would your sports car dream team of drivers be? The car or class doesn't matter here, I'm just interested in drivers. Here's mine:

Car 1:
Allan McNish
Nicolas Minassian
Christophe Bouchut

Car 2:
David Brabham
Jan Magnussen
Romain Dumas

Car 1; Christope Bouchut
Emmanual Collard
J-M Gounon (it's a bit french!)

Car2; Richard Westbrook (he's been MEGA this season, but his car hasn't)
Allan Mcnish
Andrea Bertollini

Of course, then I've got to find time for Warren Hughes, Olly Gavin, Minassian, Mucke, Mackowieki (he'll be big soon), Enge, Wendlinger, Hezemans, Faessler, Campbell Walteretc etc.

PS: Is this a long or a short race?

Oh, and my team? The effiency and teamwork of Audi, the determination of Corvette, the cockiness of Aston, the preperation of Vitaphone, and whatever the hell AF Corse have in their tea. Oh, and Henri Pesca as team boss, because you need the ACO on side

Boris Said
Marco Andretti
Ryan Hunter Reay

And my International Team in the other car:

David Brabham
Allan McNish

How could nobody have James Weaver on their list? In his prime he was as good, if not better, than nearly everybody listed.

Isn't he retired? Because in that order of idea, Ickx, Bellof, Bell, Wollek, Stuck, Pescarolo, Mass, and many others are also electable...

If we're talking retired guys, how about Phil Hill, Mario Andretti and John Surtees? Not a bad trio there.

Weaver/AWOL is one of the alltime great partnerships, true! Don't think I'd put James in a Japanese engined car (read the bit about his outing in a March-Nissan at Le Mans in Mike Lawrence's March book, I think he's PNG with Nissan ;P). How about adding Geoff Lees to that mix? That'd be a great crew.

Wow, I must have had a total brain fart in not thinking TK. Oh well, I dunno who I'd kick off my team to put him in.

Do you guys think that Schumacher would be good in sportscars if he somehow could be lured out of retirement?

This is a dream team after all - and it has been a long time since he drove sportscars, but he is fast.

I'd be tempted to poach F1 for other drivers if this were a dream team as well - but maybe not.

This IS a dream team, yes?

Stefan Bellof
Jo Siffert
Derek Bell

Jackie Ickx
Tom Kristensen
Pedro Rodriguez.

Team manager is, of course, John Wyer.

Who cares what we're running, that line up will win...
