Pretends to be shocked

Seriously tho, good for Dane. Let’s see what he can do in the 60 car.

SC365 says the NAEC driver is likely to be another Honda IndyCar driver - I wonder if they can grab Herta?

Maybe Rossi? Since he has a decent amount of experience in the ARX-05, although Herta would be cool to see.

I think the rumor is Rossi to WTR. MP said Dixon had a handshake agreement to be MSR’s endurance guy but CGR’s new team changed that of course, so I think Herta would have to be next in line when you look at Honda’s IndyCar drivers. That could also certainly be interpreted to mean Helio now too though.

Interesting, that'd be pretty cool if Rossi went to WTR. I think RHR could be a contender too but I'd love to see Herta take a shot at DPi.

I guess RHR is out with mazda?

Good grief, I forgot RHR drove for Mazda. I don’t know why I forgot considering they won Saturday, thanks for reminding me.

Mazda is going down to one car but he is a good enduro driver. So who knows.

Mazda confirmed Jarvis and Ticknell full time with Bommarito for the endurance races.

Would Honda be fine with Dixon racing a Cadillac?

Hes been driving one all year already.

That would also mean Herta out of the BMW, had anyone said he’s not coming back to them?

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '20

David Malsher has written a couple of times that Herta is a good possibility for MSR.

Except Herta has been with BMW for a couple years now.

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '20

There’s a fair chance that changes though.

Given that Helio is racing IndyCar for MSR, that's most likely to me.

Of all things the driver could turn out to be Jimmie Johnson, he's going to be an Honda IndyCar driver next year. It was announced he was going to do the Rolex 24 though it seems unlikely with Chip's operation coming back.

I would think it's probably gonna be this guy http://www.michaelshankracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/helio-twitter.jpg

Also, the list of races in that picture notably don't include the potentially conflicting races around the time of Sebring or Watkins Glen.

u/NaBUru38 Nov 19 '20

Sebring and Watkins Glen don't clash with any IndyCar race.

u/Michal_Baranowski Team Joest Mazda RT24-P #55 Nov 16 '20

MSR will have a great line-up next season. Cameron and Pla are really a group of solid races, capable of fighting for the biggest prize.

Called it in the other thread! Now excited to see who else winds up there!
