Oliver Gavin reservedriver for the 97 Aston because of a rib injury from Mücke. He will probably step in. Love this exchange of drivers between marques :p

Looks like the ALMS qualifying is going to be wet (screencaps taken from the live feed):

Schedule's out. Road America made it, Lime Rock didn't. The split weekends aren't split "Prototype only/GT only" so there's a weekend where LMPC is the top class.

Detroit scheduled for the LM test day. Half the LMPs will be in France. Detroit is also no LMGT, so a Detroit race with no Corvettes and Vipers. Good job NASCAR.

And if Detroit had GTLM then you'd complain pretty all of the grid is in France? :p Actually almost feels like that is at the request of the teams.

Not sure if I like this "some races with all classes, some races not". It's confusing.

Well no, I'm complaining because it's a double fail. Firstly it's removing Corvette and Viper from their home race. Secondly it's held on a date that the LMPs may not do.

So here's a solution - move it to a proper date that doesn't clash with LM dates, and have GTLM at the circuit that's most important to 2 of its manufacturers.

It's all so short sighted. It's like they don't care that half the alms teams are in France for the summer.

Indycar might have something to do with the date, but of course it was all done on purpose.
