Good lord, JLOC have entered two cars?!
Not a bad entry, although P2 might be a bit of a non-event if attrition takes its toll. Wasn't expecting Ibanez to be on there! |

Do we know anything about Team Hong Kong Racing who have entered a Vantage? Related to anyone who has run one of those before?

They ran the Vantage in the 2009 Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race. And it is their Vantage GT2, I think. http://www.astonmartinracing.com/eng...hongkongracing Tom. |

Oh my.......
Im guessing JLOC are going to use one car to produce spares for the other. Strategy for the first car is to complete one lap and the second car is to start the race...if there are enough parts on it for it to actually race. I cant belive ACO gave JLOC another entry after the Le Mans debacle. Quote:

All the Chinese drivers are gentlemen drivers. Philip Ma and Michael Choi raced in FIA GT Zhuhai in 2004 in a Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT and finished way back.

Oh my...I see the Japanese giants are coming our of the darkness. The Tokai University Courage will surely trash the rest of the LMP1 field. They did say last year they'll win Le Mans in 3 years

Interesting that Mazda are an event sponsor and yet the only Mazda powered car is the Oak racing Pescarolo - could there be more to come?

I have a feeling that the entry list will grow even more.

RLR is just reserving a spot in the race. Further review will be required for them to show up. In terms of diversity, that is a pretty good GT2 grid. Outside of RLR I don't see a team with the capability to run away with the win either.

I'd expect movement in both directions - There are a couple on the list of 23 that look a little shakey but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see an addition or two.
Its a reasonable start - nothing more - But it IS a start |

I was pleased to see that RLR has entered a car as well as the Robertsons. Would be nice to see some additional ALMS cars show up.

Mimmo Schiattarella is on the Hong Kong team. Haven't seen his name for quite a while.
