[LM24 Race] Le Mans 2011 - Official Entry List

[Down F0rce]

No Mansells, no Drayson.

[Félix]

17x LMP1:
2x Aston Martin AMR-One
2x OAK Pescarolo Judd
ASM-Quifel
Highcroft HPD ARX-01e with Brabham driving
Pescarolo
2x Rebellion-Toyota
Oreca Team Matmut
3x Team Peugeot Total
Hope Racing Oreca Swis****ech/Lehmann
3x Audi R18

Reserve:
-Extrême Limite Norma
-Kronos Racing Aston Martin
-Rangoni Zytek Hybrid
-Boutsen Energy Oreca-Nissan
-Courage-HPD P2

28 cars in each category (Protos-GTs), no 56th wildcard entry.

Very few surprises, even fewer exciting surprises. But quite a big field!

I wonder if Drayson does ALMS after all, since they won't be doing full-time ILMC or LMS, and didn't get LM24 entry either.

Two Lizards, 1 x pro 1 x am.
No Drayson

And two full-pro Felbermayr Proton cars. So at least three cars with which Porsche can make a coordinated and concerted attack on the GTE win.

[Down F0rce]

The Hybrid Oreca is the "56th" entry, so no Porsche 918 either.

[Dunlop Corner]

Looks good. Loving the big GT Pro field.

Nice to see Pescarolo Sport back.

I am a bit surprised Oak managed to get 4 entries. I thought 2 was maximum for non-manufactor teams, but maybe it is allowed to get 2 entries in 2 different classes.

[Down F0rce]

First impressions for me was more about who isn't there rather than who is. Mildly disappointing.

It just puts five Pescarolos on the track, and that's always a good thing.

Good point by Hindy - was the Young Driver car on the GTE reserve list a DBR9? Or another V8 Vantage.

[porsche91722]

Good to see David Brabham there in the P1 Highcroft, which begs the question, what lead up races will they do?
Also, I thought I heard mention of "live stream" somewhere in there?

[Pilgrimage]

Solid list and basically we have Peugeot, Audi, Aston, Toyota, Honda (Acura - Highcroft), Oreca and Pescarolo in top class!

[Félix]

It said Vantage I'm pretty sure.

The only thing wrong to me is the hybrid Zytek that was only given a reserve spot. It's the only hybrid P1 that's ever run!

Hope Polevision's car (#5 or whatever it is) is a hybrid P1 car, it said so very clearly on the entry list.

At least Seth Neiman understands his situation, with GTE Am entry.

Overall, pretty decent - but hardly surprising list. Pro-category looks very healthy nevertheless. Now for Sebring...

No, there are two AMR-ONES - 007 and 009
Incidentally, that's a nice little touch inherent in the model name - evoking the AMR1 of the Group C days.

There's two for Le Mans but only one for the full ILMC.

[Japanese Samurai]

No Japanese team at all.
Isn't it the first time in this several decades that a Japanese team doesn't participate in LM?

[LC2guy]

Is there anywhere i can see the full list ? Stuck at work so can't listen in. Thanks.

[arakis]

can someone upload the ILMC list, and will all the teams in ILMC be at Sebring

That's what they did last year, I suspect that's what they'll be doing this year as well.
