That said, I thought that the lowly reserve places for Creation and especially Larbre made no sense. Placing a Saulnier entry that would have been crewed entirely by gentlemen (I bet) above those cars?!

Cytosport got their entry on the back of Charouz/Jota's performance, not their own, and that in and of itself is just. The latter organizations showed incredible strength last year with the Lola-Judd and they put in a gutsy showing at the big one (Mucke getting doused with repellent anyone?!), so regardless of Cytosport not deserving anything on their own merit, that spot on the entry list is just in my opinion. Are there enough grid spaces at Monza for extra cars?
Huh? Dude whether you agree or not with the performance/pace of the team they earned their entry to Le Mans just like anyone else could of, period. They did not get the spot at anyones expense as any other team could of met the criteria needed to be in that spot and didn't. And while I like Creation they only raced 4 races in the LMS last year with 1 car. I would like to have seen them get the first reserve spot over the other cars ahead of them though.
