Well they can't all be for Endurance! Still expecting at least one car from Rinaldi too, they've been quiet so far.

2016 Blancpain Endurance Series
Quote:
Kessel have always been supposedly coming in with a number of new 488s, curious to see these are all older 458s. I think Rinaldi will do full series with a single brand new 488 but I haven't seen any confirmations EDIT: just did some googling: Last thing I can find on Rinaldi is they are planning a 1-2 car effort in new 488's with one pro one pro am... Nothing confirming purchase even though. Latest on Kessel other than this Instagram photo is an interview at the start of Feb saying they are planning 2x 488'sin both sprint and enduro, and an additional 458 in endurance only.

After browsing through the thread, I thought it might be a good idea to collect the various links for the confirmed/probable/maybe entries. I only bothered doing it for sprint though: entry list with links is here.

Blancpain GT website states: "In the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup the Pro-Am Cup is for pairings with one Bronze driver. The Silver Cup is for Pro cars with two Silver drivers, with no age limit."
Less of an emphasis on Silver Cup then, with the cars effectively being run in Pro Cup. For WRT, both Leonard and Meadows are listed as silver at the moment. Seems destined for Pro (Silver) Cup in Spint if so. Surely a Pro car in Endurance as well with the inclusion of Frijns. Sil/Sil/Plat. De Leneer (Sil), Kox (Gold), Kaffer (Plat) is another Pro entry. Balzan (Gold), Giammaria (Gold), Perez Companc jr (TBA) should be another Pro Cup entry as well. Perhaps they will be downgraded as they've announced a 458 campaign, but still sounds like a Pro entry for me. If not downgraded, it seems like AF Corse will field two Pro entries, with Lathouras (Sil) seemingly paired up with Michele Rugolo and another TBA driver. Insanely competitive Sprint Cup list. |

Yep very happy to see Siedler and Siefried back together again in the green machine, very solid pairing those guys. Hope the Ferrari isn't too troublesome in its first year though... |

Well there goes Team Brasil
A devaluing Brazilian currency has bumped the cost of the season four fold and so they've pulled the plug for 2016. That's a massive shame. I like those guys and their livery. |

Phoenix Racing
Phoenix Racing with 2 Audi R8 in BSS. Drivers: Winkelhock/Mayr-Melnhof & Møller Madsen/Pommer.
Having a driver with a double name seems to be required Christopher Mies, Frank Stippler et Markus Winkelhock for Phoenix in Spa. |

Updated with new entries and removal of Team Brazil.
Kinda expecting to see more in Enduro, 45 at the moment is a little low, I think those do well with 55+ I know they wanted more even grids between the two but it'll be interesting to see a sprint race on a tight track like brands hatch or zandvoort running nearly double the cars they did last year!!! |

Not been keeping as much of an eye on Blancpain over the off-season. What is the reason for the explosion of interest in the Sprint series this year? That's a great car count.

I'd guess that and the reduction from 7 to 5 races, the switch to GP tracks and the greater focus on the overall title. |

And they give less price cash now if you only do one series...
Is it form of blackmailing? Marc VDS sure voiced their opinion on these things last year. |
