Le Mans entry

[Muzorewa]

Unless I've missed it discussed elsewhere, the 55 cars invited to the test day & scrutineering has been published HERE

No you didn't miss anything - it wasn't there before lunch! 
No big surprises really, are there?

[Barry]

Looking forward to seeing the Porsche spyders and the GT1 Lambo, ( we'll probably hear it first ), especially as the GT2 versions participation was rather brief last year.

Shame there's only one Lambo and Saleen in GT1, two of each would have made this less of an Aston/Corvette show, although there's a good chance the 2nd Lambo might make it in, very little chance for the Saleen though.

GT2 will look a bit dull with all those 430GTs......at least the Spyker will add some glam.

The GTs are all-around a bit uninspiring and it's a small entry compared with last year.  The balance seems to have swung back towards P1s, doesn't it?  I guess they have fewer places to compete so it's fair enough, I suppose.  3 997s has to be the smallest Porker GT entry for years.

Agree. But LMP1 and LMP2 are looking so good this year. Some interesting cars and teams have been given entry, and also the chance that the heat of battle could throw up some surprises for Audi and Pug.

Can't wait. Wish I could make the test day this year to get an early fix.

No Panozes

Am i blind or is Team Scuderia Ecosse missing this year???

Im only asking because im Scottish

Pretty much as most people predicted I think.

A couple of the cars entered have yet to turn wheel, I don't think either the Embassy or the Epsilon have run yet, so they could be a doubt against both those.

Once again the Kruse car is entered as a Mazda, the same as the LMES entry. Have they in fact got a rotary engine?

Never heard of Terramos either.

Only 1 Joest Audi! are they on a budget diet?

No team can enter more than two cars, Audi Sport North America is Joest in all but name. 

 

[Lee Self]

look again, three total.

Audi Sport North America and Audi Team Joest are for all intents and purposes the same organization
(you don't really think the ASNA guys aren't german do you?)

(damn, Andy beat me by seconds...)

One of the biggest surprises to me was that the WR didn't get in.

[Nordic]

Suprised to see that the WR is not on the list either.

btw. Just read that the Mazda is the 4 cly turbo and sadly not a rotary.

Never heard of Terramos either.

"Yojiro Terada, one of the 24 Hours’ outstanding characters and figurehead of the Japanese drivers, will start his 30th Le Mans 24 Hours at the age of 61 with the Terramos team that he has set up specially to race a Courage-Mugen in LM P1."
