LM24 Race Le Mans 2011 - Official Entry List - Page 3

Porsches entry at the GTE/Pro this year is brutal Ferrari,Corvettes and BMW will have a reay hard time!

Victor_RO · 9 Feb 2011, 12:59 (Ref:2828378)

Yup, if the drivers are chosen wisely there'll be 4 uber-strong Porsches with a fifth as a backup (since Raymond Narac is still a gentleman driver in the end). With no Risi around... it'll probably end up as Corvette vs. Felbermayr at the sharp end.

So one Rebellion Lola for full-ILMC, two for Le Mans?

Robertsons have a great chance of getting both cars to the race (second car being the first of reserves) - it's more likely than not! This probably also means that they either have to skip Long Beach altogether, or just send one car to April test day. There are no other GT2 Fords that could give them the much-needed data.

The Hope Polevision ORECA is listed as a full-season ILMC entry, so maybe that takes precedence over the Rangoni entry which is LMS only- also IIRC, when the Rangoni deal was announced, IIRC they won't be running the hybrid package until later in the season- maybe that influenced the dcision as well.

Looking at the list it doesn't seem very spectacular to me, I was hoping for some more exotic cars to appear in the Gte category.

nobster · 9 Feb 2011, 13:16 (Ref:2828393)

Shame the Porsche Hybrid car will not be there, I was looking forward to see it hammering the other GT cars.

Perhaps by "exotic" he meant that hideous Abruzzi!

Exactly! It is hideous but was still looking forward to seeing the car race.
And the Jag had some decent drivers on board this time, it was a shame last year but it could only be better this year.

The Badger · 9 Feb 2011, 13:30 (Ref:2828416)

2 Felbermayr , Prospeed , Lizards and IMSA , brilliant .

Sad not to see Risi in the fight , but some great Ferrari teams to scrap with .

Whats the rule concerning GTE/AM ..... 1 gentleman driver per car , so 2 quick drivers are still possible ?

Hats off to Seth Nieman .

What was that all about a US mystery team ?

4 Oreca chassis plus a Pug ..... wow .....

It shows the reserve Robertson car with green colours, so it should be a Pro effort.

Also, they've changed the order of Corvettes. Number four will be #73, and 3 is #74. Don't know why they feel the need to confuse me.

NightStalk3r · 9 Feb 2011, 14:01 (Ref:2828434)

Crossing my fingers for a few drop outs in GTE so that Tolimit Arabia get in.

gwyllion · 9 Feb 2011, 14:02 (Ref:2828436)

I would not mind one of the OAK Pescarolos getting dropped. 4 entries for a single team is way too much. They must be French

i even want BMS in.being on the reserve list can really make these teams hesitated:Spa24 will no longer allow GT2 in so this is probably the only race BMS can take this year;And for Tolimit,they dont have a RSR before so they should know earlier if they can finally make the start,they need time to make the deal.

911targa · 9 Feb 2011, 14:25 (Ref:2828446)

check the list for tire info
http://www.lemans.org/wpphpFichiers/...-auto-2011.pdf

anyway BMS is the only team choose PIRELLI tire,so i really hope they can finally find a way to get in.

gwyllion · 9 Feb 2011, 14:26 (Ref:2828447)

No WR, not even on the reserve list.

trahsub · 9 Feb 2011, 14:33 (Ref:2828449)

I'm liking this list. Definitely happy Neiman has found his place in the GT-Am catagory so the Pro Lizards car should be pretty solid.

The Robertson's deserve those entries given their commitment to the sport over the last few years. I'm glad the ACO considered their results on the track vs. the big game Panoz and Jag have talked, yet hardly walked.

So, any more details on Highcroft's plans for the season? Is this is a one and done year for them perhaps? Better than nothing I suppose.

Luxury Racing? ACO can't really turn them down* since they're participating the full ILMC, can they. Plus they want as many new cars as possible, might be different if they were running just 430s...

* No matter what happened to the Riley vette...

Plus the team is French, and they also have a credible driver line-up.
