Don't think it has been posted, but according to RLM, there will be no Risi.

Very few to none surprises really.
Additional Audi in LMP1, only difference to WEC LMP1s. No Oak at Le Mans either.. Sebastien Loeb Racing with Rene Rast in LMP2 is interesting, no Risi is quite a shocker. |

Dempsey-Proton's LM entry is a 991 RSR while ProSpeed's WEC full season car is a 997 GT3 RSR, I'm afraid that could be a miswritten.
Anyway Krohn's post an PRO entry under Risi banner with T.Krohn as confirmed driver...last on the GT reserve... |

2 new ligier's at LM sounds interesting, especially the 33, that one appears to have an HPD engine (is that really true, anybody who know's that for sure?)

Larbre as first reserve with a Morgan Judd and not a Corvette in sight ..... how odd .
Rob Bell and Jeron Bleekamolen in at Viper .... brilliant !!! Krohn in the 5th Risi reserve ..... there ya go rich07 . I think that's pretty crap to put Risi as a 5th reserve . Whos feathers did they rustle then ? Next question ..... who is going to drop out so some reserves get in ..... looks pretty solid to me . Last edited by The Badger; 13 Feb 2014 at 15:32. |

The ACO rewards long-term commitment, always has and always will. AF Corse is one of the backbones of the WEC, they deserved to be recognized. Risi's practice of just hand-picking events has cost them this time. |

ProSpeed should run a 911(991) RSR for their full season WEC entry, Rudi Pender mentioned that late last year. A 911(997) GT3 RSR would be rather historical nowadays even with BOP and ProSpeed only owns non-widebody model. On the other hand Dempsey-Proton's entry is one-off for LM24, so I think it should be a 911(997) GT3 RSR as Joe Foster mentioned. |

I found that quite interesting as well. Oak has cars with HPD, Nissan, and Judd engines on that list. with multiple Ligier confirmed and a slew of the trusty old Morgans, Oak has had their hands full. No wonder the P1 hasn't materialized.

It's a shame Krohn won't be back, I'll have to pick a new team to cheer for.

About the entry list, 17 LMP2 are enough for my taste. And once again the race should be epic in GTE PRO, even if I'm fond of BOP.

Looking at the list I think it's pretty much what we expected. However it does seem a bit odd not seeing a Lola on the list for the first time since 1999.

List looks fine to me, hopefully the new cars from Lotus and Ligier etc will have had some decent running before june.

Happy enough with that list.
I think giving that many entries to AF but leaving a JMW or a Taisan out is maybe a bit hard. Okay support stalwarts but another Japanese entry might have been nice for the AsLMS. As always I'm interested to see how the teams fill out with drivers. It also strikes me that there really doesn't seem to be many 'weak' entries that might not make the race. Obviously a few questions marks around the Lotus but where as last year the entry crumbled apart - this year might not be the best year to be on the reserve list. |

Agree that six AF Corse 458s is a bit too many (especially with 3 other entries, they're 15% of the grid), but I guess that one non-automatic slot is a reward for how much they're supporting ELMS. Good year to be a pro with any previous Ferrari GT experience!

If one of the cars has Craig Lowndes in then I suppose that gives it a big bump in the entry criteria.
If he is still looking to race. |

What criteria ACO used to select entries?
Last year, the #54 was a dog, not worthy of a place at lm24 , and this year they are invited again . Surely the JMW or the khron car would be better choices |
