I too have read about running the complete track on 'other forums'. And as far as I know it is not forbidden to name them, so here goes: pistonheads.com
Friday is the day the running aficionados do their thing. |

Pah - everyone knows that Friday is the day to wander around the pits and eat pizza in the evening........ What is this 'running' thing anyway? I think I may have done that once - many years ago........

I think they've done it two years on the trot 'officially' now - start from the Team Langoustine campsite by TR.... Not managed it myself, but would like to - need to up the ante from my current 5K limit though!

If anyone is interested the DVD/Blu-Ray of the race is coming on sale now. Duke have it as usual - should be available in other places too.

OAK hasn't ruled out a 2015 LMP1-L entry, but the closer we get to 2015, the less likely it's going to happen I guess.
There also was the rumour about a current LMP2 team buying a Rebellion R-One a few months ago. But nothing has been heard about that since then. Perrinn? As much as I'd like to see it being built, I don't think it will happen. |

Perrinn is targeting 2016 I believe.
I think the Oak case is one of those "who knows" deals now - from their end too - rather than anything substantial |

Might also chuck into the mix (admittedly on the rather unlikely side of the equation) Sinault's comments that Alpine were looking at the WEC next year and with the WEC attitude towards manufacturers in LMP2 perhaps LMP1 might be an option.

It's a good looking list. Really hoping for at least 11 works LMPs. It's going to be huge!!
I'm hoping Lotus have a couple of good runs this year and hopefully firm themselves up heading into next year. |

If I were a betting man right now I'd say
Audi Sport Team Joest Audi Sport Team Joest Audi Sport Team Joest Porsche Team Porsche Team Porsche Team Toyota Racing Toyota Racing Nissan Motorsports Nissan Motorsports Nissan Motorsports Rebellion Racing Rebellion Racing Lotus SARD FIA/ACO's attitude will only change when Alpine actually starts doing more than putting those fake homologation papers and branding stickers on Orecas |

I think we may see a couple of privateers get flirty with Dagys, Pruett etc about the prospect of a P1 entry, but we're just as likely to see SARD's plans fall through. |

Believe me I've been one of the more pessimistic about the prospects of privateer cars (and still think they should be allowed to run in ELMS) but there is some hope in the horizon I think |

In terms of three-car teams:
Audi will do it. Porsche have been testing extra drivers. They have funds. Seems like a natural progression Nissan have shown willingness straight off the bat. Mentioned in multiple interviews Toyota rumoured. If the above happens they'll be under more pressure to step up I think we could see 12 personally. Not sure I'd be able to contain myself. |

I'm not letting myself get excited about privateers just yet. That way, it will feel even better if more materialise |
