That's a decent split, 14 P1, 20 P2 22 GT. Finally the grid will be more balanced. When Pug pulled out I was wondering if we'd ever get P1 back to the size it should be.

2 AAI Porsches in GTE-AM is a slight surprise.

Porsche going with numbers 17, 18 & 19.

No split reserves list, just one of 7 cars in order. The Riley Viper is first reserve (I'm certain it will race).

DOME running on Michelins is a surprise to me.

60 pits promised in the near future as well.

I'd be amazed if it doesn't get in. Someone will drop out. I'd be surprised if AAI actually get both cars on the grid and I'd describe Ibanez as rocky.

Would be a bit miffed with my £9k University tuition fees if I went to Bolton and then saw they were entering a full-season LMP3 car...

Rather good looking.

+ Back to bigger LMP % ratio
+ Less GTE-AMs than predicted - though I'd had cut them off even more...
+ Tyre war not just in LMP2
+ The promised 4 extra garages (eventually)
+ Increased WEC car limit

- Size of the reserve list???
- No Pilbeam... not that we were really expecting anyway, but still
- No extra HPDs
- ELMS P3, Ginetta spec class and less than expected (for full season)

Maybe it was just me getting crossed up listening to both the french and english simultaneously, but it sounded like they said it might take a while to complete but they had already started.

I thought this too, although given the variety in that class, there isn't really a lot of anything.

You've got the SMP chassis, Morgans, Ligiers, Orecas (03R and 05), Gibsons, a DOME and the HPD.

8 different chassis in a field of 20. This class needs to be left well alone!

Great news thanks. What a brilliant time to be following sportscar racing. I was worried after Peugeot pulled out in 2012 that the sport was entering a new dark age. Thankfully since Toyota came back its been pretty much all good news since and we're almost back to the days I was too young to appreciate.

Agreed. I think it's a bit like when Lancia pulled out, then missed out on the true golden age of Group C.

Did the Morand-SARD cars have engines badged as Toyota or did they keep them as Judd(-BMWs), didn't notice. And haven't found the full official PDF yet
