Good to see more (former) drivers becoming involved as team owners.

This is a pity. Looks like there will be an extra spot on the grid for a conventional car next year.

Wow, Jan Lammers, Rubens Baricello and Frits van Eerd in LMP2. Pitty Jos Verstappen doesn 't get in.

Yes he did this year, because it was in the same weekend. After that decision his son moved to Redbull and he advised from the background. Soon after that Jos decided to stop his carrier as a driver. A full line up at Jumbo would have been awesome. Would have thought they asked Tom Coronel or Peter Kox, although he is doing GT3 NSX at Realtime.

I am guessing that this would be with Ford, since Stewart Haas just switched over to the manufacturer in NASCAR and Tony has raced for Chip in the past.

No WR Biomethane Garage 56 entry:

It seems likely we'll have all regular (60 this time) entries again.

Visit Florida Racing is trying to get a Le Mans entry. It would be good to have a Riley in the race.

Interesting entry news - with teams expected to have their lineups in place by May 11. That is far earlier than we've seen in recent years, with changes going on through Test Day and right down to the wire.

Changes will still be possible but looks like the ACO are making it harder - trying to make the entry list less of a moving target.

Hmmm, how is that going to work? If you need to change a driver you ask for permission. If you get permission, fine. If you don't, then what?

Then you'll pay a fine for doing the change.

Also out today on S365, Scuderia Corsa have been given an IMSA 'at large' entry, in addition to the one they earned with the GTE-Am class win last year.

So possibly another car on the grid for the American team.
Not sure how dependent they are on funding, but presumably they wouldn't get the 'at large' entry if they were likely to have issues with turning up.

They can always run one entry out of the AF Corse garage if necessary, I don't doubt it.

Must confess I love the look of the new Cadillac DP - would the rules permit an entry if one were forthcoming?
