But more importantly, it won’t be just another car filling the grid, proven by the team’s driver lineup of veteran Porsche factory driver Sascha Maassen, fellow German Klaus Graf and team owner Greg Pickett. Maassen is the most experienced RS Spyder driver, having completed the majority of the car’s development and will be the team's third driver at the Petit Le Mans, also providing supplementary technical and driver support in testing.
That sounds pretty cool, at least they're trying to do it right.....

Enjoy whilst you can!
Per Michael Cotton;
"Motorsport? I have it on good authority that Porsche will not repeat the RS Spyder program , even when the new LMP regulations come into effect in 2011."
"Porsche's future is firmly in the GT category with the 911" a Weissach engineer assures me. "It is very profitable, you know, and Porsche does not have the money to start a new prototype program"
"Indeed not. Audi is already working on a new prototype for the 2011 season, and, of course Porsche will not go there again."
"When the Grand Am stopgap program with Penske comes to an end, Porsche will again rely on the rear engined 911 for it's presence in competitions."
