There only a slight drop in GTEAm field this year- large HY field means there's a bid step up in quality of cars overall and probably budgets so makes sense to pay for experience given all the costs of getting cars there.

Over the last 6 years or so pre Hypercar both LMP1 and GTEPro fields dwindled and over those years there were more (and so new teams) coming into to both LMP2 and GTEAm.

Plus there's 2023 factor giving drivers incentive to stay loyal and sign up for WEC teams over other series.

On a similar note, I make it 13 previous Le Mans victors in the field - 11 in hypercar (all six Toyota drivers, Lotterer, Bamber, Tandy, Duval, and Dumas), along with Jani in LMP2 and Rocky in Garage 56.
Have I missed any when scanning the entry list?

Don't think you missed any sir. It's a good number. Hopefully we can see more names added to that winners list this year.

Yeah I hope the same - I like Lotterer and Bamber for example (I've met Bamber several times and he's been brilliant each time), but I'd like to see other drivers achieve their dreams too, rather than repeat winners adding to their tally.


I'm normally a fan of drivers rather than cars or manufacturers, but this year I'm stuck between hoping for a Glickenhaus win or the #3 Caddy - I'd love for Bourdais to finally get his win.

Yes, by definition!

Or put it with all the other GM cars perhaps? I mean, the Corvette is right next to the Cadillacs, why not throw the Camaro in there too?

Slightly off topic, did anyone notice if they've announced the Grand Marshall and race starter/flag waver yet? Taking a punt on Tom K being one of those but wondered if anyone had seen anything?

Cadillac will use their IMSA car rather than the crashed Spa car. Going to be a busy time turning all that around.

Successful lobbying for a pre Le Mans platform change would take Pug and Glick even further out of the equation. My personal hope, based on what we've seen so far this season, was that Ferrari might be able to live with Toyota at Le Mans and make a race of it. Bringing the Caddies and Porkers further into the equation would certainly make things more interesting though. The joys of BOP and the politics which surround it.

But that discussion's for a different thread...

I think Ferrari will make a race of it. And Cadillac will be next best. The car looks very drivable, seems kind on its tyres compared to the Porsche, and isn't that far off the pace.

It was suggested earlier that an electrical power steering failure caused the crash. Not a nice place for it to happen.

And on top of that, Bourdais had another electrical (related) issues in free practice during last weekend's Laguna meeting, causing him to go off and park it in the tire barriers.

Yep, it transpires that it was a Merc. A Project One car, so I'm told.
