[LM24] Le Mans 2024 Entry List

[JimboCycling]

I have been reflecting that the full WEC grid plus auto invites and LMP2 entries gives little room for discretionary invites in LMH and GT. I know that is stating the obvious a bit but I have only just appreciated the consequences of this eg for any GT focused Gold or Platinum drivers not in the WEC it is very hard to find a way in to Le Mans.
Part of me wonders if I'd prefer no LMP2 and more discretionary entries in the other classes. But then there is the history and the loyalty of those teams. Nice problem to have of course.

Nice addition for Crowdstrike as Catsburg joins:

Makes something of a mockery of the reserve list

A bit more to the story it seems…

“The original version of this story followed an incorrect release from Formula Racing which stated that the Spirit of Race LMGT3 entry had been taken over by Formula Racing – That is not permitted under the entry rules for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.”

I assume this is just semantics - the entry will say 'Spirit of Race' but the car and crew will be 'Formula Racing' ?
