Maybe, maybe not. There are so many unknowns that we really can't say right now.

Based on this seasons ALMS teams, with their suggested car entries next year, you'd come up with 11. Intersport x 2, Audi x 2, Corvette x 2, AMR x 2 (not really an ALMS team next year), Panoz x1 (or 2?), FLM, PWL.

Then we have the unknowns, rumours and otherwise.

Dyson x2 (not likely but...)
Courage Cosworths x2 (???)
Porsche LMP2 x2 (apparently no sales until post LM. Why? Why not post Mid Ohio? Is there plans?)
Acura LMP2 x3 (were they planning on an assault?)
VDS Radical x1?
I don't think Risi is interested but....
How many new Porsche 997's? Can we discount than none of them will want to go?
Is Kinetic really buying Spykers? Would they want to go?
Krohn expressed interest, in what who knows....

On the other hand, 35 from LMS is also stretching things a wee bit right now.
LMP1 is the problem area, unless it gets shrunk at the expense of an expanded LMP2. Creation and Lister "seem" to have nothing to run in 07' for LM. Zytek?

I don't think we'll know until January (or later) next year, what is going on for next season.
