2nd Spyker Withdrawn - ACO build 56th pit garage
« on: May 28, 2010, 11:54:56 am »
It seems Spyker has withdrawn its 2nd entry off the reserve list.

The ACO have had to meet to choose another reserve from the original entries, their choice is the #28 LMP2 Radical Judd SR9.

The ACO have also built a 56th pit garage between the end of the grandstand pits (where Audi are) and the 2008 extension.
It will give a reserve the opportunity to race in 2010, and the following year the new pit will enable the ACO to invite a team presenting a specific and innovative project in addition to the usual 55 entries for the Le Mans 24 Hours.

I wonder if that creates an opening for a Pescarolo car/entry next year as he has supposedly fallen out with his old team.

 Beeing between garage 50 and the new extention I wonder if this pit would be known as "Arier 51"?

Or it might be a neat way of allowing the JLOC entry, but still getting a full grid at the start line capable of doing the first lap and beyond..........
