This was taken from an ACO press release.
Anybody got any ideas which manufacturers and which cars?
'Those cars eligible for the new GT 1 World Championship will be accepted to race in the
24 Heures du Mans and in the Le Mans Series in 2010.
Already, three constructors have written to the ACO, confirming their intention to be present at the next season with cars until now never seen at Le Mans. '

Well, it ain't gonna' be Saab. ;D

All 3 sound very interesting!!!! Especially the Jag.

The third is probably the Maserati MC12 which has been cleared to run at Le Mans now.

The 350Z is a GT4 car, and as far as I know there are now plans at the ACO to run GT4 just yet!
I presume you meant the GT-R?
Not so sure about the Jag, as far as I know there isn't a GT1 version around anywhere. There's a GT2 version in the States and a GT3 version in Europe though.

2009 and 2010 GT1 are very different. Sorry the GTr and 350z, look pretty similler
ACO GT1 rules no longer exist I think. It will be a cold day in Hell when the ACO let the MC12 race I think.
Maybe a bit hopeful about the Jag, but it was talked about and there is space in the FIA series
vvvvvvvvvv
-
Those in the know say that the ACO WILL be allowing the MC-12 to run at Le Mans and in the ALMS
-
Never say never I suppose and it does have an auto entry but The ACO have always been very against the car, I expect it will depend on the quality of the other cars entered.
But I would rather something a bit more modern was given the chance tbh, i think its time to move on from the old GT1.

I for one would never get bored of hearing & seeing the DBR9 :-*

I'm certain that Marcel Ten Caat posted a blog on his website giving details of the invitees, and though I might be wrong, I'm pretty certain that the MC12 was on the list.
In fact, read here: -

The MC12 has been on the list every year it has won the FIA GT series.
This year could be different as the ACO does not have its own GT rules any longer and has instead excepted the new FIA cars. Due to a lack of support/new cars the MC12 has been given a wavier to run again, but with restrictions.
However pretty certain the Aucua P2 car will be racing this year. On UK team now has one and Highcroft are also talking up the chances of them coming over.
-
Well it wont be the gigawave Nissan on the grid at Le Mans as the team seems to have shut down.
Shame, but there is still a swiss team running them and I expect they should be some takers to run the other 2 Nissans in the FIA series.

Gigawave's replacement has been found, SUMO power. Not a name I have heard before but it looks like ADR are part of the same group.
