Gonna be tough to figure this one out.

I would perhaps consider moving Derani to the 68 and putting Scott Maxwell in a Multimatic UK car if he would take the seat. Scott has a long history with both the car, the race and the Multimatic team, but he hasn't raced at LM in a number of years.

That sounds like a good plan... will be interesting to see how it all washes out.

A very important decision. Bet they are all burning the midnight oil.

Great idea,, and he drove the same car / race set ups when he shared the Mustang with Billy Johnson so maybe that would be a good fit with the WEC 66 car team.

Is Le Mans experience the number one factor? If Ford can win again with the loss of one of their top drivers & the ridiculous BOP restrictions it will be amazing. But I know they actually can do it! Go Ford!

Nice,, Good Choice !!

 

[Cobrar]

Excellent choice, nice balance of capability and maturity - esp. in light of the BoP. Need to bring this car home a winner!

Best of luck to TK and the Team!

 

[GKW05GT]

Perfect mix of talent and personality great pick

 

[Triheart7]

Great replacement. I spoke with him briefly about Triathlons during a practice at Sonoma Raceway a number of years ago! Seems like he has a friendly personality which looks good with the GT.

 

[Ed Sims]

Logical. And it looks like he's buddies with Stormy!
