Confirmed entry list as of 20/1/09

[Mr Termite]

The local rag says today that Pescarolo will have two new cars for LM and the LM series. He needs to get his entries in good order when the competition is a bit thin!

[Nordic]

I have read that the full 2009 entry list will come out today in Paris.

[termietermite]

Great.  I knew it was soon and have been logging on to the website every hour or so for the last week.  Sad or what?

The big rumour is that Henri will given one or two Pug 908's to run this year!

Not at all
Let us know when you find anything out.

[Nordic]

I saw that too. The other rumour is the the ACO will allow vitaphone to run their MC12 in GT1.

Porsche are also expected to up their support of the spyder in P2, again there may be a vitaphone connection.

[Steve Pyro]

The MC12 would be good to see at LM.  Last saw one of these about 3 years ago at Sebring.

[LangTall]

Wasn't there one 2 years ago Steve?

The Corse car #003/15440 ran in the 12 hours in 2005.

Don't recall one running in 2006 or 2007.

The list is out - and it looks good in LMP1:

3 Audi R15
2 Audi R10
4 Peugeot 908 (1 entered by Pescarolo!)
4 Astons Martin

Roll on June

The Corse car #003/15440 ran in the 12 hours in 2005.

Don't recall one running in 2006 or 2007.

In 07 the only GT1 entries were 2 Vettes, ( 1 yellow and 1 white ) and 1 Aston

[Barry]

No Rollcentre, and the LMP1 car is up for sale

No Saleen's on the main list, 9th reserve for Labre , but in the present climate they might get in.

Good to see an Euskadi in, wicked looking car, hope it is a bit more reliable than last year

2 Lambo's in GT1

Good to see 4 of those great looking Lola coupes in LMP2.

Henri's running two different cars in LMP1, don't know if that is a brilliant idea, I predict much Gallic arm waving.

[Robbo]

Rollcentre's Pesca has been sold to race in ALMS:

"Star Mazda team Mundill Racing have acquired an ex-Rollcentre Racing Pescarolo-Judd LMP1 car and plan to enter it in the American Le Mans Series before the end of the season".

[Christopher]

If all those listed make it to June, then it is going to be good race.

Getting excited now.

But, GT2 appears to lack variety due to the number of Ferrari.
