The article on DSC says "The six drivers in nos. 45 and 46 are all Porsche factory drivers". I didn't know van Overbeek had been given factory driver status.

I would imagine the #44 car will be the one entered under a different team name.

It would be cool, but expensive to see that third car in the Le Mans "art car" livery.
Or the black and silver of a couple years ago.

I agree, a different livery on each car would be nice, even if it is just slightly different like with the Dyson cars.

Whoops! I just looked at the picture from the recent Lizard's test and the cars are slightly different! I can't tell which car is which, but one has a red banner on the windshield and red side view mirrors, the others have blue and yellow in the same spots.

They ran the blue and yellow trim last year, too.

I hated that blue and yellow trim. For starters, the blue and yellow, didn't think it went well. Second these teams that make the car distinctions so minor makes it hard to tell which each car is when you can't grab the numbers. For workers who don't know the distinction it makes it harder for them, thankfully they had me can't tell you how many times I had to tell them the right number before they radioed in.
