Another victim of Audi telling Audi Sport to shelve the LMDH/GTP program. I'll bet that Dr. Ullrich and others are glad that they got out from Audi Sport when they did with the corporate meddling that Audi have been doing with Audi Sport in recent times.

That would be logical, although if there are any clashes, I assume FE would take priority. It's interesting to note that he's essentially taken Lotterer's place in Porsche's FE team, as the latter comes back to sportscars with Penske.

I assume he won't be the last driver to leave Audi in the coming weeks, although the WRT-aligned drivers may be keeping quiet for a bit longer.

Although I seem to recall Lotterer saying somewhere that he hoped to continue with FE......

He did, but Lotterer's not been amazing in FE while Da Costa has a title to his name. It's not hard to see why Porsche would prefer Da Costa in FE.

I reckon Lotterer will still have an FE drive next season, he's got as much experience as you could want.

Rast to BMW. No details on programmes yet but I'd guess by 2024 he'll be in the LMDh.

Really this is just par for the course these days. McLaren only signs drivers that already have contracts with someone else.

"It's the only racing I'm interested in."

Doesn't sound like Daniel Ricciardo has any thoughts about doing anything other than F1 right now. Let's see if and how that changes depending on if he can get a seat on the grid next year.

I doubt we sill see him racing much in the future. Maybe in something like Extreme E or rallycross.

They had to lock him up. I'm not 100% sure but I think he might be the best driver Acura have right now.

Felipe Albuquerque says hi.

I'd say that of the current Acura drivers raw pace, Blomqvist = Albuquerque > Jarvis > Taylor. But the (lack of) race craft from both MSR drivers has been shocking this season, they've both been mugged on multiple occasions, almost always by Albuquerque too. It's not as if Blomqvist isn't capable of good racing, he was fine at Jota last season.

Good for him though, he has been an underrated driver for too long.

Not wasting any time, Rene Rast has already driven the BMW.

So have Connor De Phillippi, Sheldon van der Linde, Augusto Farfus, Nick Yelloly, Marco Wittmann, Philipp Eng, Dan Harper, Neil Verhagen and Max Hesse. I am expecting my call up any day now.

The young driver trio BMW have (Harper/Hesse/Verhagen) have been mightily impressive. I'd like to see them all in LMDH, in the same car.

The article is paywalled so I can't read it.

I think it is not that strange that all those that were lining up an Audi LMDh drive are looking elsewhere.
They won't all fit in at WRT/BMW, so some will have to look elsewhere if they really see WEB/LM/LMDh/Hypercar as their future.

Apart from Müller and Rast, I'm thinking of Frijns and possibly D. Vanthoor.

Ganassi had announced their driver's for Le Mans and it includes Richard Westbrook, Earl Bamber, and Alex Lynn.

Guess that means Glick will need a new driver

Jarvis-Blomqvist-Pierson for United's #23 P2 entry. Exceptional drivers line-up for a non-Pro class. No way in hell a bronze driver line up is gonna beat entries like this (and no wonder therefor those drivers are likely at ELMS and IMSA).

At this point UA should sign Ricky Taylor and complete the Acura love-in.

That makes sense, it never seemed logical to let Tandy leave Porsche just when they were committing to prototypes again.
