Default Corsa Motorsports pilot

Johnny Mowlem in a pit interview during the 24hr when asked about how much he enjoyed being back in a Proto stated he loved it and he would be in one in the ALMS (soon, this year or next?). So is Corsa looking to go Proto racing or is Mowlem going to be with a different team?

Not sure how close Corsa and PWL are anymore (let alone the drivers), but there has been speculation of PWL racing an lmp lola by the end of the year, so that may explain it.

I highly doubt that Corsa and PWL will ever have any type of symbiotic relationship again. I could be wrong. But the parting of ways, was way less than amicable.

Mowlem also said to "watch this space" during that interview, and seemed as though he was close to a proto deal with someone for next year.
I also liked his saying with the power and handling, and paddle shifters, a proto made you feel like a "real race driver."

Hmm, Corsa withdraws from Lime Rock and Mid Ohio as the result of an oppotunity that was presented at Le Mans. ?? With said opportunity requiring the full focus of key members of the team and Mowlem's "watch this space" statement from Le Mans makes me think that someone should be watching the track in Tooele for a prototype being put through its paces in a not quite so familiar livery.

?? Also at Le Mans was John Doonan, and there is the rumor of Mazda/BK switching to a Lola B08/80. Now we all know that the Mazda/BK effort is on a pretty tight budget, so where is the B07/46 going to be utilized if they are in fact getting a coupe. Just a thought! ??

Good train of thought, HD.
I'm trying to get hold of an aquantance (sp?) of mine that knows Mowlem, and see if knows anything he can share.
