And also, where's the Norma? It was supposed to make its debut here.

No Norma, but Pegasus have got their Courage on the list- I think their LM entry for the Norma must be open to question now- either a switch to the Courage or a withdrawal altogether? No sign of WR in P2 either
No Kolles is a definite surprise. Are they going to go into Le Mans with no 2010 race mileage on the car, or can we consider them a potential withdrawal? A couple of other additions in GT2 apart from the BMW- a second Prospeed Porsche for their Le Mans drivers, and a JWA Porsche- Weren't JWA supposed to be running their Aston this year? |

JWA were initially listed as running Vantages. This Porsche is the 'same old' Porsche 997 GT3 RSR owned by Paul Daniels (not sure if he still owns it though).

I see the oil-burners outnumber the real racing cars in LMP1.
![]() It still spoils sportscar racing for me, seeing that, and it makes no real difference to me whether they're factory teams or not. I hate diesels! |

I wouldn't read too much into the non-appearance of Kolles. The cars have a waiver to race in 2009 spec, so all their data is current. The drivers, on the other hand, reaaly will be in at the deep end at Le Mans.

That was really more the issue I was thinking of- we know the R10 should be pretty much bombproof in terms of reliability, but would you want to go to Le Mans with drivers who may have absolutely no race mileage in the car under their belts....?

I think the Sacred Monster and Albers should adapt quite quickly but as for the others it might be a challenge.

While their ACO-rules racing cars have not been very successful - bad choice in partners? - their baby prototype business is very successful indeed and lots of their chassis have been winners in VdeV and the like. It's not like they can't make a car, but they probably should not sell them to tail-end teams if they want to make a name.

Who is Lotterer for Audi? Never heard of him!

Did some A1 GP, drove the Kolles R10 last year at Le Man and is also in Japanses GT.

Lotterer's Japanese exploits have already been mentioned but he was a very talented young open-wheel driver as well, his big career mistake probably being that he became a Jaguar F1 development driver after having Red Bull support. Oops.

Should be an epic battle between the diesels but shame there is no AMR.

If Audi beat Peugeot in this race, then I'd think they're mad if they didn't continue the LMS campaign over the full season.

Why? They will have all the data they want for LM24, and that is all they really care about, TBH...

If Audi win Spa and then Silverstone and with double points from Paul Ricard - they could very well win LMS without doing the other races!

I suspect LMS Silverstone entry could look a bit thin, as LMIC may be the only thing left to fight over, LMS being Audis to lose...
I hope not, but at least I don't have far to go, to get there! |

Sadly no official AMR car... Also needed them to be at Spa to take pictures of the team truck for my little project

I would anticipate that the Oreca-AIM 01 will make an appearance on the entry list. Audi will be at the Silverstone 1000km as well, since they are taking part in the ACO Intercontinental Cup. I believe AMR and Peugeot have also signed up for this.
Only two and half weeks until Spa now, to say I'm excited about going would be an understatement |
