Fisi will move from AF Corse in the WEC to Risi in the USCC too, after having been bumped to the second AF Corse car in the Bahrain 6 Hours last year losing him the title to his original co-driver Gimmi Bruni.

Re: 2014 Rolex 24 + Preseason Testing
I don't know why this is a thing, but IMSA has just announced a driver rankings list which will determine what cars a driver can and cannot compete in. This uses a system based off of a drivers experience and is used by the FIA. Here's a basic rundown of the system.
- Spoiler:
- - All drivers will be given a rating at the start of the season based off of their experience. The rankings are, in order from highest to lowest, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze.
- Platinum is assigned to a professional driver under the age of 55 who has had success in the highest levels of racing. This includes F1, Grand-Am, ALMS, NASCAR, IndyCar, CART, and other regional racing series.
- Gold is assigned to anyone that meets Platinum criteria, but is between the ages of 55 and 59. It also works for any driver who has had success in a lower tier series in one of the above racing divisions.
- Silver is assigned to anyone that meets Platinum criteria, but is 60 years of age or older. Silver also applies to amateurs who have had success in minor league series.
- Bronze is assigned to amateurs, along with anyone who was assigned their first racing license over the age of 30.
- Driver rating will have no effect of the Prototype (P) or the GT Le Mans (GTLM) classes.
- Driver rating will determine who can and cannot be a teammate for the Prototype Challenge (PC) and the GT Daytona (GTD) classes.
- During normal races this year, only one Platinum or Gold driver will be allowed in each PC and GTD entry. However, a combination of two drivers will be allowed in 24 hour events.
In addition, new rules have been announced regarding all races this year.
- Every car must have at least two, but no more than three drivers during normal races in the year. The only exceptions are 12 hour races, which will allow up to four drivers, and 24 hour races, which will allow up to five.
- Minimum and maximum times in the car will be determined by number of drivers in the car, along with driver rankings. For the average team, minimum time will take up about 30% of a race.
