Pst, ZR1. Z06 C6.R is history now
![]() Other than those, I really wish to see a Doran -built Ford making the trip to France. I can't stress it enough, but Robertsons really deserve an entry... more than few other candidates out there. Since Matech is very unlikely to show up, there are no homologation issues either. C'mon ACO, give an entry for at at least one car - that's what Andrea and co. have been wishing for. |

i have just notice GruppeM to race in LMS full season this year is HK based not the UK based one,so i guess there's no more asia force at LM24 this year,likely current GruppeM includes some EnduranceAsiaTeam stuffs with 4.0L RSR experience and some former Nobel Grupe-GruppeM ones rich in 996 experience.
also,Proton earn 3 auto tickets last year by winning LM24,LMS and ILMC,so they may get 2 auto GT Am entries,even Ragginger will race for BMS this year,they still have Jr,Sr,Ried,Konopka,Roda and fast Cruz Martin,enough for 2 GT Am entries,indeed Proton managed 3 cars at LMS Rd4 last year. and if TrackSpeed pick Avon tire and run the 2010spec 4.0L RSR,they may get an GT Am entry straight |

Have we heard who is going to be running the Lotus cars in P2 and GTE? We speculated that the Mansells may run a GT Evora, not heard a whisper about any other teams...

Since Jetalliance are running the two Evoras... I'd expect Lichtner-Hoyer et al in one of the cars.
On the subject of GTE cars, apparently Robertson Racing have submitted entries for Le Mans for both of their cars. Since there's no Spyker, and there probably won't be other Ford GTs to run around, and that the team have been loyal to the ALMS from the start of the project... I fully expect at least one of the cars to be on the official entry list, and the second car at worst as one of the reserves. |

Yep I agree. The car with the best driver line-up should definitely get a race birth for variety. I still think two entries will be hard but like others have said, they deserve to be there. Makes it easier for them with the ALMS programme to have just one car too.

FX66 are out of Le Mans ..... now theres a surprise .
I think its got something to do with homolagation ..... and one of the ACO's rules is past team form ..... they havent exactly lit the track on fire , have they . In my mind , they dont deserve an entry . |

Im not sure how many auto entries they have ..... but expecting 4 is asking a bit much .
They possibily have 3 ..... in P2 ? |

Yeah I agree 4 is too much. They have 2 autos and maybe they could have an additional LMP allowed in. To be honest I was expecting some kind of tie-up with Henri for Le Mans. Not long to wait now.

The amateur LMP1 trio just doesn't belong in that category, but the Jacques Nicolet is on it so it will probably be accepted. They should send him a subtle message by accepting the LMP2 car without drivers instead for them.

Quote taken from Oak FB ..... After its strong results in 2010, OAK Racing has also received four LMP2 invitations for the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Maybe they will be allowed to convert 2 of them to P1 ? Why 4 ? 1 for podium at Le Mans 1 for winning ILMC 1 for 2nd in LMS 1 for Michelin Greenex Challange ? Am I correct ? |

I have just heard that Radio Le Mans will be live on air at 9.55am (UK Time) in the morning to cover the announcement live in a special programme.

Hmm, use a small media player which can pick-up internet radio, and have one ear phone in one ear

Does anybody have any idea how long the press conference / RLM broadcast is likely to be? I figure I can probably swing an hour or so under headphones, but not a huge amount beyond that.
There is also the challenge of getting a media stream past the corporate firewall, but that sounds like a perfectly good occupation for the first couple of hours of the day! |
