No, not yet.
They would like to try and get the driver situation sorted within the next few weeks. There will certainly be at least one Brit driver. There is a chance that one of the factory Audi drivers might be available (Pirro or Biela). Stefan Johanssen and Perry McCarthy are two names for three places. |

From what I hear Johanssen is almost a cert as Arena Motorsports will be running the car, and they ran Johanssens R8 in the ELMS. Perry is top of their hit-list but he is rumoured to be trying for a seat in the No2 Bentley. Autosport did suggest that Jonny Herbert might be in with a chance. Is he not still contracted to Champion?

A bit off topic but... Johansson is spelled Johansson, norwegians and danes use the -ssen ending. Johansson is from Sweden where we use the -sson ending.
