GT1 looks a bit slim.
I wish GT1 in the ALMS was as slim.  |

Do we know what restrictions the Spyders will be running with? (compared to their ALMS spec)
Or can we expect to see them annoying the big LMP1 teams?

ACO says 50kg. 25kg for IMSA. |

Compared to 2007 LMP2 class will get an extra 50 kg (now 825 kg) and will have the size of the fuel tank reduced (now 80 litres only), so no chance to compete with quick LMP1 cars

Well, this can still happen - OK, the others can probably not match their speed but it's last not least endurance racing and anything can happen. Even the seemingly invincible Audi team lost 2 out of 3 cars last year... |

And the 2 Pugs weren't exactly 100% reliable in the LMS either...

Have I missed something in the off season?
No factory Corvettes or Astons.
Is the list complete, only 50 cars on it, no reserves listed. looking for another 5 entries, and 8 reserves.
Looking forward to seeing the Porsche spyders at last though, and a GT1 Lambo.
Pleased that, considering the number of entries for LMP1, ACO didn't give a third Audi a place, variety is the spice of life.

The Luc Alphand 'vettes are factory backed and are (as they were last year) their LMS entry for Europe. Hence the Ollies appeared a couple of times to drive them.
Since Larbre ditched the Astons, in favour of the Saleens, that's two factory-backed Astons gone.

85 SPYKER SQUADRON Tom Coronel (GER) Tom Coronel is Dutch What a surprise to find him as a Spyker driver. I thought he got factory support from Seat to do a full season of a TouringCar Championship? Oh well, as long as the dates don't clinch  |

Well, if the dates do clash there's a very good look-a-like who can also race a bit  |
