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:
#PetitLemans #ILMC Peugeot line up at Petit Le Mans : N°7 A.DAVIDSON – S.BOURDAIS – S. PAGENAUD / N°8 : F.MONTAGNY – S.SARRAZIN – A.WURZ
Damper on the "Wurz to Audi" rumours then?

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.

courageous should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridcourageous should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
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.

I would think that the track, the size of the entry and the closeness in corner speeds of the GTAM and GTC that neither class should be balked too much by the other. Could be wrong though...

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.

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 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.

This is some very nice news. Is there going to be another ACO lemans.org steam like Silverstone or are we in the hands of the ALMS organisers?
