That's a good point.

It's not even 2014 yet, so there could still be some changes left to be made. Entries drop out of the championship and driver lineups change constantly -- I wouldn't be surprised if the driver lineup got switched around before Silverstone.

Slightly off-topic but what are we expected the car numbers to be? I'd expect #5 and #6, like Penske's old ALMS LMP2 cars.

Penske was #6 and #7... except when they ran the third car as #5.

I don't think Porsche will be able to just pick the numbers they want.

Most likely it will be:
1. Audi
2. Audi
3. Audi (2 races)
4. Toyota
5. Toyota
6. Toyota (2 races, fingers crossed)
7. Porsche
8. Porsche

Toyota will probably stick with their numbering. I think the #7 is good fortune in their view.

Great eye! You are correct. That was 2007. I meant that the P2 was where Porsche had left off. Not 2007. So... to be more correct, here are photos of the 2008 Penske Porsche P2. Like I had said before, 2008 was the peak of the ALMS and PLM, IMO. Here you go, #'s 5, 6 and 7. Notice the last photo has the Penske testing the wheel covers for increased efficiency.

Well, Audi will have 1,2,3, locked out. Toyota have shown they like 7&8.
So # 4,5, and 6 seem logical?
No?

Could be, plus Rebellion will likely continue with 12 and 13. P1's are only allowed numbers from 1 to 22 (+\- 1, I can't remember). So they don't have to many possibilities. They did have successes in the US with 14 many moons ago...

This may just be my personal desire/preference about Le Mans history speaking but...





#20, #21, and #22 don't seem too far from the realm of possibility, don't you think? Perhaps they will re-visit those numbers...considering the significance.

This year in fact Audi has a #4 car for 2014 spec Michelin tyre testing at Le mans driven by Banomi, so maybe Porsche will start from #10? Or they are just registering 2 cars #5 and #6?

Yeah but that was just so it could test tires
It shouldn't be there this year so Porsche should be fine if they want 4/5/6

So that leaves it to Toyota in my opinion as having a bigger chance than Porsche to upset Audi. Hopefully the addition of Porsche to the championship is enough of a distraction for Audi to help Toyota get an upper hand.

Then in 2015 is when things will get even more interesting.
