There's no room for those surprises anymore, just the odd controversy over one or two teams who did, or didn't, get the nod for Le Mans from the ACO.
But maybe 2018 will be different, here's hoping...  |
In recent years the only real surprises have come LMP2 (who's in and who's out) and to extent how unnecessarily many GTE-SHAMs there seem to be every year, but I think this year with the unknown quantity of LMP1 we're into one exciting press conference!
Beyond just teams I guess the other things to look forward to are whether there's G56 (at least it's not been officially denied quite yet), the proto-GT split percentage, and whether we get 10 full reserves again as we should, after last year only saw pitiful 2
Just hope the proceeding itself would be executed less embarrassingly than last year, I mean the social media sections were more cringe worthy than anything before IIRC
I still wonder how the 2019 conference will look like considering that we will already know most of the field at that point
