The P3 announcements for next year have been coming like nothing before so I spend a little time lining them up - the numbers are absolutely unbelievable!
19 cars announced - 18 Ligiers! (Lanan the only one so far to have confirmed sticking with Ginetta)
3 more cars expected: 2x G-Private with a couple of Adess cars + RLR/University of Bolton will most likely continue with their Ginetta (they add a new Ligier as well)
12 more cars could be possible entries, again most of them Ligiers (8) with 2 Ginettas and a single Adess. Also one still undecided (Murphy). Without a doubt some of those entries will not materialize, we might see some in French GT/P3.
But with 12-15 P2s and around 10 GTE's expected we could see grid bolstering to 40-45 (or maybe even more?) cars!
It's clear ELMS is returning to its glory days of the mid-2000s!
