Wow, they're really committed to beat Audi this year... hats off!!!

Looks like there is a chance of a non-VAG-car taking overall win this year. I bet Audi will also enter a third car at Le Mans

The third car is subject to invitation. ;D But seeing as it's French...

OK, the third car for both Audi and Peugeot needs an invitation - but I've never seen the ACO recject an entry of a big manufactorer - although sometimes this would have been better (LMP-Cadillac, what a disgrace!).
Hope there will be still enough slots for the good privateers and smaller teams in LMP1 left...

Knew it was coming, but satisfying to see it confirmed.

c'mon Sebring. Nice grid of cars this year.
