Judd's announcement about their customers for the LMP2 engine reveals two more entries for the class next year: Team RLR will go for that engine as well, perhaps in the old open RML Lola, and Race Performance will run the engine in an Oreca 03, not the Radical they ran this year.

Atlas eFX want to run a Panoz Abruzzi in the IMLC next year! Hopefully there will be at least two on the grid then!

See one ..... see one , when did we see an Atlas Saleen this year ? How many races were they intending to race , and how many did they actually do ? Even when it was a lone entry and all it had to do was toodle about and finish to get a win , it didnt turn up . If I was Olivia Newton John I would find somewhere better to put my boob campaign on ..... cuz it dont get no coverage , at all !!! But then again ..... we dont want coverage with respect to boobs ..... now do we ? And if they get involved with Creation ..... when was the last time we saw a quick Creation , ask Nic Minnassian !!! Bad to worse I say . The Creation was a great , but unreliable car in its day . argue if you will , but the results speak for themselves . Nothing to do with the engine either . I cant see that car being any better now . Mutton dressed as lamb at this stage . Sorry for the negitives ..... but its also the truth . |

I was quite happy. I saw the Atlas Saleen at Silverstone this year. I'd settle for the same with the Panoz. It's there money they can do what they want. Isn't like they are taking a car away from someone else.

According to GG on Twitter, there's a new entry for LMP1 in the LMS next year in a Mazda-powered Lola. Open or closed? We're not told yet.

According to the official LM website, a relatively unknown French team (Extrême Limite) will be running the Norma M200 in LMP2 in the Le Mans Series and attempting to get an entry for Le Mans as well; Xtrac gearbox and a Judd/BMW HK engine.

Strakka Racing confirms driver line-up will remain unchanged for 2011... Jonny Kane has signed a new three year contract.

If they stay in P2, that's got to be a really scary prospect for everyone else. Even with Nick Leventis on the team (no disrespect intended), Watts + Kane on the same team is a frighteningly good pair of drivers.

And the ARX-01d, I presume, is still the ARX-01 chassis with the HPD LMP2 twin-turbo V6 engine?

That is what I was thinking too, but that was the first time I have seen the ARX-01d mentioned. Maybe there will be some aero changes, but I don't see the need based on their performance last year.

They've sold their Lola, but I'm pretty sure they want to stay in P2 and that car would be eligible only for P1 in its current form (with a slightly larger fuel tank and added weight though). After all, last year I'm not sure how late we actually heard about their plans, I think the first time we saw their chosen chassis-engine combination was when the Le Mans entries were announced.
