A shame though that the Dome is missing.

LMP2 should be great with 3 Porsches battling it out. Let's hope the Lola has come a little closer. But even if they are not, the 3 different Porsche teams should provide entertainment.
Who is this G.A.C. team who got accepted with an LMP2 Zytek while Barazi is on the reserve list?

GT1 is dead now that the Aston works team has moved up (come on GM!). Corvette will surely take a win, and unless something goes wrong should be a dominant 1-2. Hopefully the private Astons can take it to Alphand and avoid an all Vette podium.

A shame to see only 3 Porsches against a massive 9 (!) FIATs. But since there are only 3 Porsche teams, ACO would have had to accept a second car from on of the Porsche teams instead of a one car Ferrari team. But it is a shame, as we saw last year it only takes one bad break for the entire Porsche challenge to die and Ferraris cruising home.


Anyway an absolutely brilliant list. I thought last year would be a "1999" year, where after a massive race most of the factories disappeared. But it seems this race could be even better than the legendary edition of 2008!
GAC is the Old Trading Performance team (Ojjeh-Gosselin)
