He's going to the European Le Mans Series.<br /><br />I DO expect N/H/L to continue to run the second car, because they have a history of running unsponsored second cars and because according to 16th and Georgetown, they won't get any TEAM money for that car until they reach 14 starts (they're at 12), and they'll only get half the TEAM money for that car if they don't run the full schedule. For that reason, I think they will. I would think Servia, Tracy, and Junqueira would be the favorites (unless they settle for a ride buyer, easily possible). Servia probably won't do it because he's probably holding out for an AGR ride now that he's their driver coach. Bruno deserves it, but I think he's been forgotten, and he may now be seen as not being a team player after trashing Coyne last year in Texas. I think they're going to go for PT.Seanhttp://www.race-database.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-80839161568996424942009-08-04T15:24:26.220-07:002009-08-04T15:24:26.220-07:00Bourdais did a lot of whining after Junky got hurt...Bourdais did a lot of whining after Junky got hurt at Indy a few years ago.

It seems like the devil is in the details of whether Bobby got equal equipment and/or engineering to Graham, or if that even was a obligation. He obviously feels that it wasn't the case, and I would guess he wouldn't be silly enough to orchestrate his own exit without another ride in waiting.

Sounds to me like he still has money, and thinks he can get better value for it from the team that is, more or less, the one he won with in Champ Car. <br /><br />And if he's taking money with him there'll be no replacement at N/H/L unless it's someone with a chequebook. Doorknobs' old team-mate Dan Clarke, who was thought to have bought his way into A1 Team GBR, is Tweeting that he's on his way to Ohio and hopeful of a drive...Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519766252522983800noreply@blogger.com
