The Gulf Racing UK entry might have something to say about that. But certainly it's down on a few years ago where half the field was the colour of Vince's shoes.

I don't think there was one last year either, looks like it's only Road to Le Mans (LMP3/GT3) and a Cup series (alternating Porsche-Ferrari, Porsche this year) as support events now.

Do we know this for a fact regarding Audi cars not being there? I still can't get over the irony of the advert they continue to run in the UK about their cars heading for Le Mans.

I saw a few of those Renault Talismans (men?) on last year's trip to LM, they are a good looking motorcar (we don't get them in the UK).

Awesome news! Sounds like BMW is taking over for Audi as the flagship German mark in Le Mans and WEC. Can't wait to see what car they go with in GTE Pro and have read that is going to be "pretty extreme". My guess is an i8 w/o hybrid and V8 power homologation special but we will see.

The real eye will be on when they decide to jump into LMP1 when the future regulations are adjusted.

Getting ready for this year's race. Been collecting these podium finishers for all my trips to Le Mans going back to 2011. One more to buy at the race this year. A lot of Audis as you can see. Will be strange not to see one on the podium in 2017.
