Allan told us at Silverstone he'd be there but not driving. Pirro's last race with Audi will be Laguna (found out this would be his last season with Audi at RA race and very saddened at the time we heard that - Marlena told us he lives to race). Wild guess would have Rocky driving with him..but I'd really like to see Katherine Legge in the R10 as his co-driver. Championships are already in the bag and it would give her a great test with the car. Since Audi seems to be promoting the "kids" (comment made at the Monza LMS race -> "the kid car") it will be most interesting to see what their driver line-up for ALMS in '09 will be. Pirro apparently made a comment about GT cars - perhaps he could be involved with the GT3 Audi program.. GT would seem like a let-down after competiting in the "ultimate" LMP1 car. The ensuing months will prove most interesting. Jarvis/Winklehock/Albers/Legge all have open wheel experience - then there's Ekstrom and Tomczyk too. In '09 DTM has three conflicts with ALMS - Lime Rock/Oschersleben - Road America/Nurburgring - Mosport/Brand's Hatch. When the LMS sked is released it will definitely make for another piece of the big equation.
