Did anyone else notice the news that GM has signed Jan Magnusson as one of its new test drivers?

I wonder if that means the new GM cars will be running into other cars more often now?

Magnussen drove the #64 C5R this year in the endurance races. In fact that's the car that won Le Mans this year.

I know. He is also the one who ran the C5R into one of the other cars and allowed the Ferrari to get into the lead while repairs were being made.
