I would think that it would probably be Murphy because Pecom has the 2 WEC rounds and Status has to be struggling with the Lola situation. Also you would expect the AF Corse entry to be run by Waltrip, wouldn't you?

According to Autosport, both AF Corse and IMSA will take their GTE-Am cars, and the LMP2 teams that will take one car each there are TDS, Status, OAK, Greaves and Murphy.

Dempsey Racing/Lola
Conquest Endurance/Oak Level 5 Motorsports/Honda Level 5 Motorsports/Honda Greaves Motorsport/Zytek Greaves Motorsport/Zytek Pecom Racing/Oreca Status GP/Lola Murphy Prototypes/Oreca OAK Racing/Oak TDS by Thiriet/Oreca I reckon Murphy have the best driver pairing out there at presant . Kinda surprised no mention from Signatech . So , this is what the P2 entry will look like . This is shaping up to be an excellant P2 field !!! Any news if Starworks will run , or any other WEC P2 teams ? |

Probably no WEC P2 teams, there's too little time between Fuji and Road Atlanta. Pecom were doing a WEC+ELMS schedule this year, and their absence at Petit would indicate that WEC P2 teams will most likely not make the trip unless they have more cars and personnel available (Pecom only have one chassis).

Earlier there was talk of Oreca running an Oreca Nissan for a sales pitch, but that may be off the table now that others will be running that combo at Petit.

Where/when was this confirmed? I highly doubt they'll be bringing 2 cars as the Zugel/Gonzalez/Julian car is entered in the WEC and as said the schedule will be too tight with Fuji just the week before.
You might be confused with the Silverstone WEC entry where Greaves is bringing 2 cars. |

Even though it's over the pond compared to the other races, I suspect that they'll be bringing out their ELMS squad, don't forget that the AF-Waltrip car is a WEC entry and it will be in Fuji the week prior to Petit.

I doubt they'll have a huge problem running on consecutive weeks. After all, they're scheduled to run 4 cars in the Blancpain Endurance Series at Navarra on the same weekend as the Fuji WEC round but have the entire month free of GT Open commitments.

Its a little disappointing not to get to see Bruni and Fisichella(+Vilander?) in a 458 around here again. They romped to victory here last year in the 458. With the updated car im sure it would be much of the same.

Confirmed through a news story on Endurance-Info, the AF Corse crew that is making the trek to Road Atlanta is the Cioci-Perazzini-Griffin squad.

Romped? You mean outqualified the competition by 0.086 seconds, and finished on the same lap as the Lizards? |

Will there be a GTE-AM class at Petit? or will the ELMS guys who normally run GTE-Am run in the same class?

Black Swan has said they'll debut their car for next year at PLM so maybe they'll race in the same GTE-Am class?

Whatever the case, hopefully IMSA integrates the ELMS cars to the ALMS grid like in the past and doesn't mess up everything like FIA did at Sebring... otherwise we'll unnecessarily have seven classes (P1/ P2 / LMP2 / PC / GT / LMGTE-AM / GTC) and a dilemma with automatic invites.
Dagys made an interesting point on his SPEED article. It would seem as JMW won't be getting automatic LM invite for 'winning' PRO because they aren't doing full ELMS season now!! Same with LMPC though I'm pretty sure JMW still gets an invite despite this (because of their history), it is still a big risk as ACO can quickly forget them if someone else offers enough cash... as IMSA, Larbre and others have witnessed in the past. Hell, even works Aston and Lotus were left to reserve list this year... |

I guess IMSA could also run a second, non-championship car if they're after automatic invites. It's not like LM entries are quaranteed... even for French teams
By the way both IMSA and AF Corse have already quaranteed automatic invites for LM with these participations (first and second in ELMS standings), whether they finish the race or not. |
