I said Perrier but I meant indeed Narac...Thanks

19dodge · 22 Feb 2006, 18:38 (Ref:1529250)

yep.. I'm glad they are back. That was one of the surprises of the 2005 Le Mans (the pace of the Narac Porsche - with Romain Dumas behind the wheel of it)

rdjones · 22 Feb 2006, 19:10 (Ref:1529263)

I just hope that the Rollcentre Radical gets an entry.

I was hoping to hear a rotary engine 15 years after the legendary win...

The Badger · 22 Feb 2006, 20:52 (Ref:1529323)

Jasus ..... 15 years , is it that long , I feel old now !!!

Anyone got any news about T2M , after they wrecked their chassis last year ?

**Adam43** · 22 Feb 2006, 23:42 (Ref:1529452)

I'm not bothered about a rotary engine. I'm all for variety, but that just got in the way!

Not heard anything but they do have the 24h Le Mans on their 2006 schedule:

Have to say that I doubt that will happen. The ACO stated that they will make their final decisions after Sebring. The chassis won't have shown at all at that point. Strangely though, Sebring is not going to prove anything as far as who to add. What cars will be at Sebring, who are eligible to race at LM, and would want to?

The Audi R10 and Porsche RS Spyder

Then the same could apply to Courage Competition and Oreca and RfH Dome , which I cant see happening .

I cant understand why certain people were not named , who are not attending Sebring .

Seems like LeMans have pulled another white bunny outta their hat and surprised us all again

Courage yes, but not Oreca or RfH. Both Saleen S7-Rs and Dome S101s plus that specific S101hb have been seen at LM before. The Radical SR9 hasn't been seen on track at all, anywhere, and that is the point Fogelhund's making.

Asa, you are right about the R10 but I see no reason why both of the chassis will not get a LM entry. That is truly beyond the scale of blunder the ACO is capable of at its worst. The RS Spyder is a moot point, Penske/Porsche made it pretty clear they weren't entering LM with it this year. Maybe next year with customers if Penske actually moves to LMP1 as the rumours have suggested?

I wouldnt bet on that at all

Be one hell of a race if both the Audi's didnt get in !!!

brielga · 23 Feb 2006, 23:22 (Ref:1530206)

not another WR, not another WR......................

I understand you are joking, but in fact what is said here is very typical for the ACO: they won't blunder in case of teams that bring big money...

It's always the teams that have small budgets who are the victims of ACO's blunders. RfH, Spyker, Morgan, TVR etc...and the teams that are not French.
Although the missing oreca entries on the list would be a proof of the fact that the ACO can even make huge blunders with French teams. Let's not hope so, I do want to see both Oreca Saleens battle the Aston's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini and Corvettes. Wow !

And: let's leave some of those utterly boring LMP2's out and add some LMP1's please.

The Badger · 24 Feb 2006, 00:14 (Ref:1530246)

Well , to be quite honest ..... i could wait another year to see those Audi's . And one hell of a fight it would be without them . Let them come together with Peugeot .... hee hee .

It does seem that to be a french team or manufacturer it does do wonders for them .

I just cant understand why Courage Competition are not on the list being Frances biggest chassis manufacturer !!

They must really try every year to come up with a new surprise .

But , maybe thats why Oreca and Courage are not on the list . Cuz the ACO are sick of hearing "how come Courage got 2 entries" or WR got 2 entries . Now they can say that they are playing fairer !!!

tblincoe · 24 Feb 2006, 00:22 (Ref:1530248)

People, this is not the final list! There's no point to a lot of this discussion because most of the teams you mention will be given entries once the full list is released.

The Badger · 24 Feb 2006, 00:28 (Ref:1530253)

We know that , but we can still have a laugh

I concur. Is there nothing else in the life that warrants your attention: wife / husband, girl / boy friend, kids, partners, other interests. None of you will influence anything about the LM entry list, so relax.

Asa · 24 Feb 2006, 02:11 (Ref:1530297)

Why is it that GruppeM are not on the list? Is winning thc championship in FIA GT's GT2 class not good enough for ACO?

Sorry?

Now if having "more important things to worry about" would be the criterium for deciding to post a reaction in a forum, would there still be anyone actively following an online discussion?

Although I greatly admit that almost anything is more important than this forum or the LM Entry list (if I wouldn't have had a wife and daughter I would have postyed 20 times as much as I do now), let me remind you that this IS the thread about the LM entry list, so it is to expect that people reply to the just published entry list.
