I think Chris and Guy don't normally add a third for the long races.

Oreca confirms its three drivers in the old Peugeot... basically a fully-fledged factory line-up: Lapierre-Gené-Minassian.
EDIT: Also, the official factory line-ups, courtesy of the Peugeot Sport Twitter feed: Quote:

Not that it matters much, but the qualifying order has changed. According to supplementary regulations it's now:
Q1) GTC & GTE-AM Q2) GTE-PRO Q3) LMPC Q4) LMP1 & LMP2 |

I like the GTC and GTE-AM being put together, but I would think combining LMPC and LMP2 would also make sense.

given that the challenge cars need to fight for a place on the grid, giving them their own session makes sense - I would say the GT Pro & Am cars should share a session to give GTC runners a fair crack of the whip as well.

We would be looking at around 20 cars on course for AM/C quaily and 17 or so for GTPro? I like the Pro cars having the track to themselves. |

They should make them run in the gt3 race to determine who gets in.

I am wrong; official entry shows GT-Pro has 20 total entries with 6 GT-Am and 8 GTC (totaling 14). Shouldn't be an issue.... |

So IF the Robertson drop out, will we see 2 new entries? If so, who are the candidates?
Also heard a wild rumour (coming from the Baltimore GP) that IMSA is considering cars withdrawing during the first hour to be replaced by challenge cars left out after qualifying. A bit too much if you ask me. |

I don't think Robertsons will drop out, though I do expect this is the last we see of them.

I think the suggestion may be that the Robertsons will quit ALMS at the end of the season?

I NEVER understood that rumour, I must admit Why would the Doctor Ullrich want to take him while he has a "tank" of young promising drivers for this ??? And why would Alex want to live a team and a car that isn't "inferior" to Audi ??? |

I hope for petit, Kyle Marcelli gets a drive, he's so freaking fast. I would love to see him in the 16 Dyson car, I think he would be a much better pairing for Guy Smith and Chris Dyson than Jay Cochran. Maybe Jay brings some money to the table, but still, I think they would be a lot faster with Kyle than Jay.

Yeah, if Kyle wants to be in the race I think he should take every avenue to get into a big prototype and guarantee his spot in the field. International audience, debut in the big car, and your sponsor (Lafarge) might just show more interest in you.
