Sarthe82 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I wish it well but I suspect it will struggle to gain enough traction to work.
Looking at it another way, could the ACO be sort of hedging their bets here? If the economic climate really gets cloudy and the 24 Hours starts to struggle for entries they'll have some ready-made cars available to step into the breach. Not like they haven't done it before (the early 90's), at least this time the cars should be quicker and sound a lot better.
