When did a current GP driver last compete at LM?
-
Swopping Bourdais for JV is a result for Peugeot, Brabham has got to be an asset as well.
-
Trouble is, putting a current F1 driver in a car is gonna cause problems, firstly he'll want a refuel and new tyres after about 30 minutes, and drive off 15 seconds after arriving in the pits, then 2 hours after the race has started he'll fly off home ;D
Great news for Brabs though, great bloke always ready to chat, and a great chance of that overall win.

Herbert? There must be one more recently, but I can't think of them.
-
Alan McNish?
MG Mark
-
Alan McNish only raced Grands Prix in 2002. The following year he was a Renault F1 test driver.He was Toyota F1 test driver in 2001. He didn't race at LM in any of those years IIRC.
So far it looks like Johnny Herbert.
-
Could be Eddie Irvine in 1994 when he raced for Jordan in F1 and SARD at Le mans?
-
Alex Wurz?
>Martini...
-
Nice one Rup. Looks like Eddie fits the ticket. Unless anyone has a better idea.
Can't be Wurz. He won LM in 1996, and never came back (so far). He started F1 in 1997.

Whats the betting this will be on Radio LM :D

Whats the betting this will be on Radio LM :D
on an hourly basis.

That depends on weather button is driving one of the prodrive Aston/lolas!
-
Antony Davidson or did he just F1 test drive in the same year?
-
Anthony Davidson only drove once at LM - in 2003. He was a test driver at BAR that year. Still looks like Eddie.
-
I also think it was Eddie. I'm sure we would have seen more active F1 Drivers at Le Mans over the years but this was simply not possible. In a lot of years the race collided the the F1 calendar, usually the GP Canada.
