Champ Car should get him to Long Beach for the Toyota Celeb race next year.
The way Michael can crank out lap after lap, and keep the car together, I think that he would be a natural for LeMans/Endurance racing after he retires from F1 racing.

He'd have to learn to share the limelight with other drivers. That will require some serious mental adjustment for him.

I don't know if he would have a problem sharing the limelight. I would think his problem would be accepting the limitations of his co-driver...

Not sure if you already know but he's already tried that, Le Mans in 1991 (finished 5th). Raced in C-Prototype Championships in 1990 (finished 5th) and 1991 (finished 9th). All with Sauber.

I agree with Swedeboy, he has a problem with equal team mates and won't step into a same car with equal driver which IMO in Le Mans probably would not be a problem the way it is in F1.

I think Shumi is again becoming my favorite piloti, cheers, Sonny.

Most of the top Le Mans drivers are pleasant people. I'm not convinced that many of the present F1 crowd would fit in. McNish being a rarity, although DC is frequently seen enjoying the racing as a spectator.

I agree.

I personally think DC will "end up" in Le Mans after F1 and will do good there.

I was actually hoping Hakkinen would go and do Le Mans but he's too much of a "MB man" and is now enjoying DTM too much (for that to happen).
