LMP 1 looks amazing! Audi versus Peugout will be great, now with costumer backups. Now Henri has a race winner, let's see what he can do with it. With Boullion in the car, there should be plenty of pace!
Also great to see Aston Martin with such a massive attack. 3 full works assault in this economic climate, is better than we could have wished for. A shame though that the Dome is missing. LMP2 should be great with 3 Porsches battling it out. Let's hope the Lola has come a little closer. But even if they are not, the 3 different Porsche teams should provide entertainment. Who is this G.A.C. team who got accepted with an LMP2 Zytek while Barazi is on the reserve list? GT1 is dead now that the Aston works team has moved up (come on GM!). Corvette will surely take a win, and unless something goes wrong should be a dominant 1-2. Hopefully the private Astons can take it to Alphand and avoid an all Vette podium. A shame to see only 3 Porsches against a massive 9 (!) FIATs. But since there are only 3 Porsche teams, ACO would have had to accept a second car from on of the Porsche teams instead of a one car Ferrari team. But it is a shame, as we saw last year it only takes one bad break for the entire Porsche challenge to die and Ferraris cruising home. Anyway an absolutely brilliant list. I thought last year would be a "1999" year, where after a massive race most of the factories disappeared. But it seems this race could be even better than the legendary edition of 2008! |

No Deborah
Looks pretty good. Lets hope the Pugs and Audis are evenly matched (behind the Astons ). And Henri has joined them, which woul dmake it particularly funny if the Aston wins (which it won't). |

Not involved in the factory effort to win the race, but that doesn't exclude support... aka couple of engineers placed in the team?

There is an article on EI about TME Kölles and mentions Winkelhock-Premat-Legge . Are they the potential drivers ?

No, it just says Bakkerud will try to use the same path.

Too bad the Reiter Gallardo GT2 didn't get an invite. It would be nice to see a new car in GT2.
And ofcourse a second Spyker in GT2 |

Instead of all those Ferraris, it definately would have been nice to have a bit of variety. The Lambo, the LG Riley/Vette, another Aston....

Maybe ACO know something negative about Asian LMS. Last year 3 LMP1 ( Dome, Tokai, and Terramos ) but this year zero at the 24 hours. strange, i'd have bet BIG money on the Dome getting an invite ................
