I guess that really depends on Ferrari wanting 2 or 3 PRO cars...

I thought Lammers in the Nederland car was a done deal already, but maybe not.
Also due to run at Spa at least. "I may still be quick for my age, but if after Le Mans a fast and young successor will be available, I will step back in the interest of the team and the results." http://sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/l...e-mans-lineup/ |

Raises the question: which one of Toyota's drivers will step aside? EDIT: https://twitter.com/Toyota_Hybrid/st...01312071995394 Davidson has been sidelined, Alonso to join Buemi and Nakajima in the #8. Last edited by Victor_RO; 30 Jan 2018 at 11:33. |

Be really interesting to see how Alonso stacks up against Kaz and Buemi as ex F1 drivers.
There’ll be an assumption that Alonso will blow them out of the water, but I’m not so sure, at least not straight away. |

After all, that would be best for Toyota and all 3 concerned - if they want to win |

Equally importantly, they (we) would also know that Nakajima & Buemi are brilliant LMP drivers in their own right. |

Any idea when the entry list will be published? I think it was Feb 6th last year.

With less than week to go now, here's my personal calculated guestimate for how the entry list will actually look like... maybe more than 75% would go right?
Code:

I think it's closer than 75%.
Jota could be offered more than 2 slots. They'll get 2 from WEC, 1 from Le Mans last year, 1 from AsLMS and they could win AsLMS LMP3 as well. They could get up to 5. I'm not sure BBT will get an entry. KCMG may not get one if they don't win the LMP3 title. JMW could potentially take 2 entries as well. Team FIST AAI will get a GTE-Am entry from the AsLMS GT title as well. Not sure the Riley will make the trip. |

BBT maybe doing ELMS too so it probably shows commitment more than say Eurasia I don't think JMW has the resources for two unless they linkup with AF Corse Yes I forgot the ASLMS GT3 thing, on that list of mine I'd probably replace Project 1 or Krohn AF for that and put those either of those to reserve candidates Not that I personally really care what teams are in GTE, but the split percentage they take from the prototypes is important...

You can only earn a maximum of two, but remember that JCDC Jota have played the same game the manufacturers have - they have had different team names at different times, so technically they are different entries. So if the ACO continues to allow that loophole to remain open (that is, afterall why we get 4 Fords), then JCDC Jota could in theory get up to 5.
It'd be a bit crap to have teams fielding so many cars, but I guess if they allow manufacturers to do it then there's no reason to not allow privateers. Last time I checked, AsLMS got 2 GT auto entries, which seems insane. But I'm not sure if that's changed. That'd be half, sometimes two thirds, of the AsLMS GT class getting an auto-invite. I know AsLMS isn't popular, but I do like it and even I find that silly. |

And the Manor LMP2 reserve in your list will be given an entry since they're likely to field it in WEC.

Anyway I think ACO said somewhere that only around 7-8 LMP2s would be admitted for full season WEC, because of the "must-be-equal LMP-GTE" split I still don't understand, so they could get shafted anyway and forced elsewhere and then likely to reserves. But yeah thanks |
