Bizzare rummor seems to be that Mark Webber will lead the driving for porsche's return.

Really cannot see it happening.

Fair play to him if that's true, might give him the opportunity to really race this season against the plastic Michael Schumacher at Red Bull in the F1 karting championship.
Would be great to see Webber back in sportscars.

'apparently signed' it says. Still no official confirmation. In fact Porsche denied rumours at the weekend.

It's still all speculation based on Hindy's comment yesterday. Mark moving back to sportscars will be good all round, but currently it's still a romour.

But, being strongly denied by Porsche (so a high chance it's fact... Wink )

Maybe Red Bull will be sponsoring the team as well Evil

Still don't see it myself, not really much of Webber fan to be honest, saw him at Formula ford Festival many moons ago and never really warmed to him. No reason.

Perhaps I should have put a !? instead of just ! at the end of the comment.

It is surprising that Webber wants to come back to Le Mans, bearing in mind that he is a member of La Sarthe flying club.

The Porsche GT1 was not averse to the odd flip.

Don't know if any 956/962's flipped over?
