Based on the photoshopped picture with pasted on swiss flags that was released, I'm not surprised.

Said to see the absence of the stunning Dome S102 on the entrylist..
Would there still be a possibillity to see them enter the LMS? |

Can anyone shed any light on why the Goh entry has been numbered as if it was a P1 (1-24 P1's, 25-49 P2's and so on)?
4, the 'winning' number the team carried in 2004 I could (sort of) understand, but 5? Incidentally, I'm not trying to initiate any conspiracy theories here, I'm just intrigued. My bad!!!!! Could have sworn they carried the number 4 in 2004! Oops! Last edited by Bentley03; 27 Feb 2009 at 10:44. |

EDIT Just seen Samurai's comment. It's seems the ECO Speed project smells a bit. Last edited by FIRE; 27 Feb 2009 at 10:57. |

May the 2009 rules allow a fair fight between diesel and petrol engines. I'm just a bit disappointed about the japanese cars (Dome...). The ACO's strategy to make them return at Le Mans seems to had failed ; for this year only I hope. |

According to Sports-carracing.net,
Dome had been told Eco Speed did not do the entry application from ACO before the entry list was announced. Eco speed showed Dome the document of the bank in Italy that proved the remittance at the end of last week. However, there was no payment from them. It seems to interrupt the 2009 race plan of S102. |

The date for applications closed a while ago though.

Surprisingly few moans and groans on here this year. I'm surprised to see Barazi-Epsilon fourth on the reserve list, disappointed (but unsurprised now the full story is emerging) there'll be no Dome, and, on a personal level, I would have liked to have seen an entry for the JWA Aston in there. But, it would appear the ACO have generally done a good job this year.
Intrigued now to find out who'll be driving what.......... |

I am disapointed that there is no Dome , but thats understandable , and no Saleen . But I reckon we will have 5 cracking battles across the board .

I guess that is supposed to be surprising... but that would just make sense!

Rémy Brouard of ACO confirms that ECOSpeed's entry was too late...
"The reason is simple. The request for the commitment of this team we came too late in relation to the closing date. But when you say too late, it's really very, very late! It was therefore impossible to select against the teams, who had met the deadline." http://74.125.79.132/translate_c?hl=...MLycPA1mP_yYOQ Last edited by deggis; 28 Feb 2009 at 04:28. |

Only confirmed driver in the Jetalliance DBR9 so far is Lukas Lichtner-Hoyer.
I wonder which chassis they will be using? #103 or #105? Tom. |

I would imagine they would use the chassis that in the best shape. Wasn't one of them found to be deficient last year?

That being said, #103 was very heavily pranged by Jiri Janak in practice at Zolder(?). Has it ever been properly repaired?

Autosport has an interview with Tonio Luizzi in which he says he is looking for a drive at Le Mans this year any speculation as to where it may come from -
3rd Audi? 3rd Aston? Pescarolo? Porsche Spyder? |
