The Atlas Saleen look comprehensively damaged after its high speed crash at the Hungaroring, so i wouldn't count that as a definite yet, i also highly doubt LMPC and GTC will be fully subscribed, Libra are now a maybe after there engine blew.

I agree with you on everything but someone here mentioned that Atlas had two cars so I left them on. I believe Libra will make an appearance but not on race day. I hope LMPC and GTC are not fully subscribed that would mean more LMP1-2's and GT's!

Only if we're going to have more than 52 entries if they are fully subscribed, so I have to disagree.

The word is not so good as it concerns the Atlas ILMC entry.

That is an ILMC (ACO) decision it seems, as the ALMS was not allowing any GT-1s unless 4 signed up for the year! And would not let a single outside entry in to chase the auto-entry! We will have to wait and see I guess, if they were ever even signed up for it.(?)

Was Larbre going to show up at all? They havent raced in America for years and even if they raced and won an auto entry they wouldnt be able to use it for next year as entries aren't transferable between classes and there will be no GT1 next year at LM.

That said it would be nice to see Saleen race one more time in the U.S.

Hmm, yes the invitation is (usually) extended for the class in which the team was running. With the ACO axing the class, and it not being a choice of the team to switch classes, per se, who is to say the ACO may not offer it to the team for any class they wish to take up? It is after all solely at the discretion of the ACO, who they extend the invitations to.

If Dumas and Rocky and Bernhard are all going to be in the Hybrid, who is going to team up with Graf in the Cytosport Porsche? Surely Porsche doesn't have enough factory drivers left to fill all the GT2 entries as well as the RS Spyder, at least when it comes to experienced prototype drivers.

Graf/Maassen/Luhr would be as strong a combo as anyone else on the track has if you ask me! I almost hope for a Cytosport win/Highcroft DNF at Mosport to make things really interesting going into Petit!

As long as the Cytosport car finishes in front of the Highcroft car at Mosport I think we will have a cracker of a race at Petit. With all of the extra points available for the round and all of the extra cars on track it could really make things interesting, and I can't wait!

Trust me - you'll enjoy it. Really rams home the point that if a car is quick then you can find beauty in it.

I've long wanted to see a Pescarolo run in the US and after numerous false starts it's great to see it looking like it's going to come together.

Okay; with the latest shuffle of drivers in #3 and #4, with O'Connell and Gavin swapping cars, the third driver listed on the roof on the #3 is Antonio Garcia and on the #4 it's Emmanuel Collard. Keep in mind I'm at Mosport and this could change again for Petit Le Mans.
