Interesting. No works Ginetta-Zytek, no Peugeot. Continuance of Creation, Corsa, the extra Penske RS Spyder. Addition of a 3rd Risi Ferrari (for Brix?). Bell Motorsports and ECO still on that list - one must wonder whether either will show up.
Would like to see those two missing P1s from Petit back! |

Why Peugeot was expected to do Laguna anyway?

"No" what? My question was "why".

Oops - read it too fast. In my senile brain, 'why' was 'was'...

There is a third Ferrari due to Krohn buying/renting a ride. Originally, Krohn was to do Sebring, Houston, and Petit. But since Houston was cancelled, they wanted to race a different race and Laguna would be that race?

Wish Risi had a 3rd Ferrari for PLM too...that would improve the chances. Alas, Ferrari-contracted drivers would be in short supply anyway with the FIA Nogaro conflict. Could always bring some wildcards back though - Brix/Ortelli/TBA would be fine...maybe someone bizzaro like Christian Pescatori would have fit there.
All the same, I think there are 3 strong Ferraris over the PLM distance, but they'll need luck from Porsche. With the Risi/Krohn car's competitiveness destroyed by the funder, and only one (semi)pro in the #73, it's going to take good runs from the 2 leading cars and a strong showing from Aucott in the JMB car. He's been improving but Road Atlanta could be a curveball. His partners (Dauodi/Kaffer) don't lack pace though! |

The #30 Intersport Lola has been removed as well, but that was pretty much expected. Anyone know if the tub was a write off or if they just don't have the time/parts to fix it right now.

That's disappointing that neither Peugeot nor LNT will be at Laguna seeing as their cars are already in the states and they didn't crash at out of Petit. Hoped I'd see them, I'd expect LNT to at least have made the trip, they usually go to Laguna.
