So 30 cars across 4 classes for WEC? That's 7 or 8 per class if they want to keep it roughly equal.

Not too bad I guess, but not really what I would call really full classes either.

Time to cull GTE-Am and give those spots to the other classes.

You could say the same for mr Pappas so it's not like Sebastian would be the ultimate weak link for them... as for Faulkner yes it looks like he might be heading elsewhere but Black Swan won't be running on the test anyways (if we are to trust the initial entry list)

I'd call that an argument for having an experienced pro who can help Pappas out.

Heidfeld confirmed at Rebellion for Sebring, Spa and Le Mans. He will share the car with Neel Jani and Nicolas Prost.

Good for him and good for Rebellion. Maybe Heidfeld will find his luck in sportscar racing.

Bearing in mind Toyota will likely enter the WEC but wont be going to Sebring - if Sebring causes the cap then they could allow 1 or 2 more to account for this

DSC expects at least one additional single car team to be in the mix in LMP2 for the WEC with a team making their debut in ACO rules racing with a car and engine not so far represented in the LMP2 class for the FIA WEC.
Riley-Ford V6 or Bailey-Ford V8, I wonder? Or someone finally getting their hands on a Ferrari engine?

I´m thinking Starworks aka Potolicchio/Popow/Dalziel effort.

Already having Oreca, Morgan (OAK), Lola and Zytek announced so HPD makes sense. Ford engine would be best guess as well I suppose.
