Same thing happened last year, if I remember.  Ditto the Penske Porkers won't turn up.

It's a shame Bill Binnie and the Oreca saleen's have declined.

I knew of course that Oreca had dumped the Saleen project but does anybody know what Mr Binnie's "personal reasons" are?

His daughter is very ill, see http://www.endurance-info.com/article.php?sid=4728
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

I hope that she is soon on the road to recovery, and hopefully will look forward to Bill returning to Le Mans in 2009.
