So I was wrong in my earlier post. We've actually lost ten from the entry and reserve lists (not counting the teams that refused their automatic entries).
It seems very clear indeed that the current situation is really rather untenable. It really is not good news that there are teams and cars ready, willing and able to compete whilst the race looks like starting with a grid less than the maximum. I have to admit to being really rather disgusted with Spinnaker for throwing in the towel after the 28 May cut-off.
Whilst the Courage position is rather different it is still pretty astonishing that an earlier decision wasn't taken.
Lets hope the ACO agree and adopt a better system for 2005.
