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 Last edited by minimangler; 19 Sep 2008 at 22:37. |

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

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... |

The list of great drivers is endless, you could a lot worse than Mark Donahue, Bruce McClaren and Denny Hulme and a second car with Dan Gurney, Jackie Oliver and Oliver Gendebien.

Jackie Ickx Derek Bell David Brabham Allan McNish Tom Kristensen Pedro Rodriguez and with John Wyer in charge, damn near unbeatable. And seeing we are all still in the dream time, I would make sure that, what's his name ?? - the bloke in charge at ferrari, back in the early '70s was running whoever was the closest opposition. |
