Per Planet IRL twitter: "Want to update that de Ferran has not contacted me. Heard form a couple sources this week that de Ferran was to close/closed."

Simon Pagenaud has singed with Highcroft, so its unlikely he'd be running full time in the IRL with de Ferran or anyone else for that matter.

There is also the Gil is trying to team up with Tony George and Vision to run two full time cars next year. I personally have no idea what is going on, just reporting rumors that I'm sure Eagle Eye has the scoop on and knew about days before.
