That Tokai university plans an entry with a Courage LC70 Mugen . I reckon they will get an invite , cuz of their nationality ..... and the planned growth of the Asian Le Mans series .

I reckon on 2 LAA C6R too .

If Spyker get 2 entries , the 2nd will probably be a Speedy car ?

I dont reckon ARC Bratislava will get an invite , if they use an old Saleen ?

Any plans on seeing a Pheonix C6R or the PE-KA Saleen ?

No LNT either! Is Lawrence too busy with the G50's?

Good as the team is , I cant see Charouz getting 2 entries either . Id like too though . That Lola B07 was my favourite car from last year and I cant wait to see their coupe .

Best of luck to them though .

Cant see Embassy getting both their entries either , hope they do too !!!

Tokai University does not want to enter a Courage Mugen but a Courage YGK. The Courage Mugen would be entered, entry permitted, by Tokai Car Dreams 28, the team which has won the GT300 championship title in SUPER GT and which has bought the Courage LC70 to Mugen. The car should be driven by Hiroki Katoh, Kazuho Takahashi (both are driving the Shiden in SUPER GT) and Yojiro Terada. The car will run on Michelins.

Why these two spyders and not Horag? I can see only two being selected
taking the amount of applications into account, but I'm curious as to why
you think Horag will be the team to not get the entry.

Ah, must have missed that... Do you have a link to a source available?

Them having contracted Lammers shortly after he announced RfH would not
be participating, made me assume the 24h was a given.

I wonder if he will sign with another team for the Le Mans 24h.

Kinda guessed as much due to the uncompetetiveness of the car compared to a 997 or the 430's. Would be nice to see a G50 in LMS trim though?

would be rather nice to see LNT with a zytek 07S2 as we already know how fast they are, silverstone was absolute proof of that.

Amen to that DJ, but Im fairly sure that was a "one off" for Silverstone to showcase the drivers talent.

They very well could be running a Judd but we do not truly know yet as they have not declared what they are doing for 08. Their car is a hybrid and is illegal at LeMans so they either need to upgrade the car (which in this case IMO means a new car as the tub needs replacing) or lease one from somebody. With their ties to Creation at the moment I would think that if they were to lease it would probably be a Creation/AIM that they would run.

L.P.

AUtocon already announced their intent to purchase an "upgrade kit" for the CA06/H to bring it up to CA07 spec.

There was no mention whatsoever of a switch to the new AIM V10.

That is true. But to my recollection this is the last comment I remember hearing about it, even later than the plans to uprade the car (can't find the statement for the exact date at this time), quote from Dagys article link
Quote:
"We may end up using a Creation chassis that is already compliant and leave ours as is," he said. "Or we may upgrade ours. It all comes down to timing and economics." Lewis did say though that the team intends to compete in the majority of the races in 2008 and will be present at the Sebring Winter Test.

So, they are either going to be buying an upgrade kit, or an upgraded kit.
