One RfH?
Only one Rollcenter?
One Creation? Modified after it was pointed out!!!

I am happy with the four astons though.

I really hope though that with one car he can focus on, he can beat the Audi's (and of course the Astons (that would be nice though))

Creation is No 9

And we're all happy with 4 Astons this side of the pond

Lacking 40 bhp? Nope. Audi can only be beat by durability, nothing else.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the Saleen withdrawn?
So the 2nd Creation car is in already.

Someone else up this time of night, Paddy.
Thought it was only me catching up on the forum.
Just noticed, Tom's awake as well.

Oreca did withdraw its entry for Saleen's but the AMECO entry is still going ahead. (for the moment)

Given that the works Zytek is yet to hit the track a 2nd entry may have been a bit beyond them.

The 2 Creation should get in, its normal for at least one team to drop out.

Glad to see 2 Panozs with LNT given the chance they are not all hot air

well, looking at the entry list my guess for this year is:

LMP1: Will be less interesting than last year. While "Henry the beard" Pescarolo could seriously compete with the over-weighted and air-intake-restricted Audi R8 in 2005, he'll be no match for the new R10 and the works team this year, he just doesn't have the resources, same goes for the other LMP1 teams. I guess we'll have to wait for 2007 to see a real battle in that class (Peugeot).

LMP2: I see no clear favourite and expect actually the same reliability drama as last year, when the best of the survivors in this class finished even way beyond the quickest GT2 car.

LMGT1: This is the battle to watch for! I see no favourite and expect a thrilling duell between the Corvettes and the Astons, but even a surprise Ferrari win is possible

LMGT2: Similar exiting as GT1 although I beleave that you still need a Porsche to win this class, the question is, which one of the Porsches will do it. But hopefully I'm wrong and the e.g. the Spykers will give them a chase.
