So if Audi does run 2 cars in the LMS as announced;

Audi plans to enter two cars in the American Le Mans Series and the Le Mans Series in Europe through Audi Sport North America in the USA and Reinhold Joest's team in Europe. "Stable regulations with the clear positioning of the LM P1 sportscar as top category and good TV marketing in Europe are conditions for Audi's factory involvement in both of the Le Mans series," explains Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich.

providing that the T.V. package is acceptable, who will be in the Joest cars? 6 drivers are named as R-10 pilots that do not have conflicting DTM schedules. 4 of those are going to be ALMS drivers and I would think only ALMS/LeMans as the ALMS/LMS has 3 directly conflicting races also. I am guessing that McNish/Dindo and Werner/Luhr will be in the ALMS so that leaves Biela and Pirro as possible Joest pilots. So will they be split and have young guns teamed with them or will they be paired and a new driving duo introduced for the 2nd Joest car?
