GG said on TWISC that a number of full season ELMS teams were not even bothering putting entries in.

Likely down to a combination of economic factors, COVID and the fact that it's unlikely there will be big crowds at the race.

If things look a bit rosier in a couple of months then we might see a couple. But I doubt they will formally release any sort of reserve list now. They'll just appear on the main entry list if anyone does drop out.

You do wonder why some ELMS teams wouldn’t even consider a Le Mans entry. Of course the current economic climate can’t help, so that’s bound to be a factor

I don’t think we will a reserve list either. If anyone does drop out, we’ll see if there is enough time for a replacement

Tom Gamble on the roster for GR Racing (is that Gulf Racing-Racing? I can't tell anymore) replacing Andrew Watson who goes to D'Station.

Wouldn't it just be the BR1 LMP1 car they already have being entered, like the Signatech entry?

Dragonspeed themselves just hinted they're applying (or have applied) for a reserve entry, and the photo was of the BR! LMP1 car.

Still, it was very good car, so it'd be great to have it back.

Rusinov, de Vries and Colapinto is a serious line up.

Yeah. Grandfathered P1. But why not hey.

Chances are they will find their way into the race if they are R1.

Great news, those cars were fast and getting reliable at the end of their running. It was a shame they got parked so quickly.

What are the odds of somebody dropping out though?

Makes sense I suppose, since even in "regular" years there are cars that drop.

Was the reserve list officially published? are there other cars besides the Dragonspeed BR?

I've not seen a reserve list yet - nor a list with the Dragonspeed car on it. But I may have missed it.

The reserve list application window closes tomorrow (it was open from 12th-26th March), so no list has been published. We might expect a reserve list to be published next week, I guess, if they are indeed going to publish one at all.

The Dragonspeed BR1 news began with a tweet from the team, which didn't actually confirm that they had applied for a place on the reserve list, but Ouest France followed up on the tweet saying the team had confirmed that they had submitted an application for the car to go on the reserve list.

Ouest France article...

This car was never very competitive but it would be pretty funny to see it win a race of attrition.

While that’s true, and it is indeed a good car, the good one wasn’t the Dragonspeed one.
I’m assuming Hedman won’t be driving it this time?

Good point, and I guess they would probably just use the car they have instead of changing to SMP spec. If Hedman isn't driving, who is leading the effort to put the car on the grid?

Shame about the BR1 but 4 cars so if a few drop out then we will still have a full grid, but perhaps not full grandstands
