People act like she's in the adult entertainment business. That's not the case. She was an actress (if you wanna call it that). Yeah she's know for her appearances in men's magazines, but she really got her start on baywatch. She has the funds, and if she bring a GT2 vantage to this series, it's good news IMO. I just hope it comes to fruition.

Definitely saw that coming, good for him. Doesn't say yet whether he's got the Le Mans gig or not.

Looks like we are down to just one OAK car at Ricard. Nicolet/Moreau/Kraihamer get the nod.

So just one from OAK- this is starting to feel a bit like the old FIASCC in terms of grid numbers...
The report also says they'll run in OAK's traditional pink & black at Ricard- a one-off, or does the Gulf backing just cover their WEC entries, and not the ELMS?

Hope that means he's got a full season seat there

Yep seems that way. Will be some tough scenes when it comes to the podium presentations for a few of the classes.

I think the last few years of GT1 have well prepared them for that.

Must be sad for ACO to see such a drop of in GTE grid numbers all over the place, especially as after the demise of FIA GT2 there really has been only one European competitor for them. It's quite interesting how Manthey, Lotus and others opted for IGTO instead. Unlike some guys over at RLM would say, there appears to be some need for sprint-based GT racing after all

LMP2 looks good at least I suppose. Sebastian Loeb's team looks like a very strong driver lineup. Is this the teams first race?

Was hoping the Loeb Racing livery would stand out a bit more. I assume they will let their drivers do the talking instead!

Guess Racing say their ELMS plans are still on...

The ex-MIK Lola is scheduled to be re-engined to a Judd HK next month, and is to be brought up to 2012-spec. They aim to test in '11 spec in April, ready for a planned debut at Zolder- they're still looking for one funded driver though....

Would you give them money after their past performance . Sounds a bit like Libra Racing to me .

More possibility of seeing Jack and the Beanstalk doing laps .

What is the point of testing in 2011 spec at this stage ?

I'm putting two and two together with the Playstation logo on the front of the car and going with Playstation

To be fair though, it's pretty subtle sponsorship. I'd expect it to ramp up once Loeb gets behind the wheel.

Some of it had to also come with Nic and Stephane since Playstation had been sponsoring Peugeot for the last two years.
