But 2 hybrids each from Audi and Toyota.
When the Pugs withdrew I was very disappointed, but I'm getting quiet excited seeing that entry list.
Will be interested to see how Henri's Dome performs, there's some quick drivers in that car.
Shame that Lotus are on the reserve list, 2 Evoras finishing was an achievement for their first year, I thought they would get 1 entry for 2012.

Thought they might have had Mclaren in GT as well.

Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Were there any entries by teams running them? |

No bimmers! Were there supposed to be some? I know I do not know much about motor racing, but I thought they were still doing this.

I do not rate him to be honest, I think he used the reversed grid system in WTC to its full potential to get points but think he lacked the ability or cahones to do much passing IMHO >Martini...LB |

The additional pit which was introduced last year is for a car in the new tech category and yes, the Delta Wing is it this year. It's not you - it's the weird layout of the entry list.

It's in, but as soon as it's been blown off the track into the trees, after it got paased by 3 Audi's and a Toyota, it will be out again  |

The new 'experimental' category is what the ACO are calling the '56th pit'. The DeltaWing got the invitation this time (cynics might suggest Michelin tyres involvement could have scored a few points with the selection board). The GreenGT will be allowed at test day but not the race, and the DeltaWing will also need to convince ACO scrutineers of its safety before it is allowed on track at all, and with such a novel design that could be a tough challenge. For me personally the DW looks just wrong. There is no way that thing will have enough lateral stability, even with the silly fin on the back. It will be nervous and impossible to drive. I remember talking to Panoz LMP07 driver Jamie Davies who said that sitting so far to the rear was quite alarming at first, and took some time to adjust to. I can imagine the DW suffering similar problems but much worse. is the delta wing car in?is car with new technologies a class?will mr blobby be driving?am i confused?or just stoopid.

Quite right about stability GF, its all about roll stiffness, or the Reliant Robin effect as we know it. Without any width at the front, it will pick up the inside rear wheel and either have no traction or put itself into the barrier. I wouldn't want to drive the damn thing. Frankly its a death trap
I can't see what is special/new about this. Even Morgan gave up with this 70 years ago
