That livery was only used because one of the drivers owns a company called Dragon Inc. The Von Ryan 650S GT3s will likely wear something different as their car didn't wear that livery after the Dragon Inc sponsorship went.

Von Ryan have had three different liveries that I can remember and they've all looked really good. It's a shame to lose ART, although not unexpected, but great to see this programme.

So in de facto works teams, we have Lamborghini, Audi, Bentley and McLaren, or are we expecting to see some top talent in the Black Falcon cars too?

Nice to see some teams coming back after a year or two away. Ratel has often gotten a lot of stick, but I though the ELMS trying to take entries away last year was a bit underhand so it's nice to see a (hopefully) more stable field emerge.

Fantastic news that BMW Team Brasil will be in the series with two cars this year, and will be joined for the duration by Rowe Racing with a car. Add the Molitor Nissan to that list and the final entry is likely to be even more spectacular than that posted on EI/S365 the other day. It could be the strongest Pro grid since the series began, if Black Falcon pull their programme in that direction too.

With the Banco do Brasil money go to Sauber I was afraid we would not see Team Brasil in 2015.

Anyone having an entrylist of the confirmed entries?

I'm trying to collate my own, with some guesses about classes, but the S365 one (that I thought seemed optimistic) already has a few additions:

http://sportscar365.com/blancpain/be...n-endurance-2/

This is probably the best list I've seen so far, although I'm not sure about their Reiter confirmation:

The best response to any doubts in any entry lists is to include the sources, even considering old articles sometimes add entries that have withdrawn in the present time.

As far as I can work out, the Pro class certainly has:

2x WRT Audis
2x M-Sport Bentleys
2x Von Ryan McLarens
1x MRS Nissan
1x RJN Nissan
1x ISR Audi
2x Grasser Lamborghinis
2x BMW Team Brasil BMWs

Whilst likely including
2x HTP Bentley
1/2x Black Falcon Mercedes'

And possibly
1x ISR Audi
1x Sainteloc Audi
1x Rowe Mercedes


So likely somewhere between 16 and 20 Pro cars, in addition to the usual strong ProAm and GT classes.

So in addition to N24 and possibly some other events, Glickenhaus wants to enter their super duper special vehicles for the Spa 24 hours - this year already. C'mon SRO, you used to have national classes for this event in the past before it turning into one spec, allow them in and I could possibly actually look forward to this event for the first time since 2010.

I can definitely see them taking that, hopefully they can resurrect the G3 class for the purpose.

Another very competitive Audi gaming the Pro-Am class:

2015 Blancpain Endurance Series

I've never been to the 24hr spa, very interested in going this year. Watched videos on YouTube it looks... Mental. With the fireworks at night, glowing discs and loads of crazy people. It will probably be a real eye-opener.

I would be camping, any recommendations of where to camp, places to watch the fireworks and cars at night etc. Plus which days to get there etc. Thanks.

If you think Spa is crazy you should definitely do the Nurburgring 24h.

Great to see that Craig Dolby has a competitive drive with Nissan. I well remember his great drives in Superleague formula a few years back. He should be in F1 instead of some of the no-hope pay drivers.

Hey YorkshireLad, I'm from/in Leeds myself and Spa 24 and Nurburgring 24 are the first 2 dates in my diary each year. Will drop you a PM a bit later with what info I can give you.

Just seen SHANE VAN GISBERGEN has been signed by McLaren as a factory driver, would be great to see him actually get a race at Spa this year. In fact, Paul Ricard is the only BES event that clashes with V8SC; wonder if we'll have a chance to see him in Europe elsewhere.

Robin Frijns, Jean-Karl Vernay and Sacha Bottemane all testing WRT R8s at Ricard.

The former two particularly would definitely add another dimension to the series - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/117990

If anyone could post results from Paul Ricard or post links to websites reporting on the 2 day BOP event, that would be great.

56 full-time entries, kudos to SRO. Only danger is there being too many cars, as there were in 2013.

23 in Pro Cup too, I guess they've been reading Graham's article about how GTs are the best way into a factory P1 seat.
