26 full season ILMC entrants + a couple of (GT3) guests should take it to at least 30 cars (no promises though ). That´s slightly better than last month´s LMS Estoril race.

I still think even with a sub-standard field and on a sub-standard track these cars with these classes will produce good racing. There were plenty of talking points coming out of last year's race. I'm really looking forward to it even if we don't get the new equipment we have been hoping for out of Peugeot.

But nice to see a student outfit, they could be important for future japanese entries. |

edit: where is the engine air intake on that car? I didn't see it next to the drivers head or on a turbo inlet. |

The GV Zytek Hybrid was meant to race, as it was destroyed at Silverstone I read Zytek wanted to send over a regular Zytek, but this was rejected by the ACO.
Seems strange as even GT3's are being accepted. |

Can anyone make sense of this Level 5 press release from today? It says they'll be in China, but it also says they will be racing next in Italy for an ILMC round. Huh? It's not an old press release since it talks about their results at Petit.

6 Hours of Vallelunga maybe? Or have they kicked out the prototypes now?

Lotus Jetalliance has not confirmed the trip to Asia yet after damaging two cars at Petit Le Mans.
Scott Tucker's cars have been on and off list before - so that could still change. Fact is they are not on the list at the moment. Zytek Hybrid is not on it and given the fact that the #23 has been taken by Tokai it seems unlikely they will join in the end. It's still a month before the 6 Hours of Zhuhai though, so a lot can still change. |

Yeah plenty more cars can drop off the list yet. Would be nice to get some positive surprises but I think if you were going to go you'd have factored it in and lodged your entry by now.

I like the Tokai effort, but I would be glad if they were allowed to get a little wilder on the livery... The consensual national theme is getting really old with japanese cars, it feels like traditions from another time. Those are young students working on the cars, not old politicians lol!
Don't take that comment as something serious though, it's not very important, but I bet they would love having more freedom on the aestethic side. |

Or teams have lodged an entry but have asked the ACO not to be published yet because they have not found the driver with the required budget yet...
But to be honest...I wouldn't be surprised if some cars will not show up. |

I applaud the Tokai effort and wish there was more of that going on, remember the Epsilon Euskadi team, that car was a wonderful study of what could be done with the correct use of resources. I hope Tokai does well (for what they are working with) - great to see them trying to build their own engine and hybrid system and hope to see the whole package in action soon.
