^Kristensen drives the same car as Ekström in DTM and I think the results speak for themselves..
Not to mention Ekström has beaten some of the best drivers in the world.

Depends on the type of car as well. Maybe TK is more adapted to LMP-style cars. DTM isn't that far off, but having the engine up front gives the car a different balance.

Yes, but ME continuously whoops TK's arse when they are at their day job (have a look at todays quali)...

I really like to see ME in a LMP1 car, Would be awesome... And ME can drive any kind of car fast, as he has proved many times..

In that case, I'd put Ekstrom under the "racer" category, rather than "driver", because it requires a different mindset to win in sprint races in DTM or in 12-24 hour endurance races. Just being fast doesn't mean...

^That's why it would be awesome to see him in one of the Audi's at Le Mans!!! And he is a world class rally driver aswell, I wouldn't call that sprint racing..

Well... he's 31, so he still has some years ahead of him. And Dindo Capello is 15 years his senior...

^Apparently ME is a reserve driver in the Le Mans, there is hope yet!! images/smilies/tongue.gif
