Connor de Philippi, maybe? I could see him fitting in with Mike Shank. Source: Indianapolis Saturday Notebook – Sportscar365

***Sportscar365 understands there will be at least one change in Team RLL’s driver lineup next year, with one of its existing drivers poised to join Meyer Shank Racing’s Acura ARX-06 operation. Driver announcements from the Ohio-based team are not expected to be made until after the completion of the season.

de Philippi has been the memiest of the meme BMW drivers, I am not sure why another GTP outfit would want him.

Into second now! Was that on track or a penalty for someone else?

He made a great move around the outside of Bourdais. Not that Hindhaugh was watching...

They seriously need someone who is watching the TV images… frustrating to hear the surprise of a pass a minute later than when it’s shown…

And Pipo spins.

 

Edit: Not a spin. Engine just suddenly cut out on its own.

That's been a trend for the last 15 years with Hindaugh. But people love him apparently

Lambo's program is in serious danger.

From the S365 notebook on Friday: 
 

Quote

***Lamborghini Iron Lynx has altered its testing schedule, with the Italian squad having canceled its scheduled run at Road Atlanta according to Matteo Cairoli.
***Cairoli told Sportscar365: “We were supposed to go testing next week in Atlanta but it has been canceled. First of all I couldn’t come because I had a clash in Mugello [for] ELMS. Anyhow it was not possible. But we have some other days before the end of the year that I’m very much looking forward to.”


There has clearly been a budget shortfall.
