What are you on about, the start of thread was two months ago so you can't expect to have realistic entry list by then... also the opening post's list is the full season one and not Spa specific, which of course exludes the Dome.

And you do realize that non-moderators cannot update their posts after the first 15 minutes have gone...

[gwyllion]

The first post has the entry list of the full WEC season.

http://www.lemans.org/en/news/guide-...amps_6878.html has the most recent entry list.

http://www.lemans.org/wpphpFichiers/...champs-wec.pdf is the entry list from 11/04 (before Pescarolo withdrawal).

I thought Status and Murphy were intending to go ?

Thanks for posting the list

What are you on about !!!

Last season , the entry list was race specific . Whats the point in not posting it ?

Also , someone who was able to edit posts normally opened up the thread , complete with live timing and all sorts , which was very helpful . It could/should be updated by now , could it not , or might that be asking too much ?

The Sebring thread had both WEC and ALMS in its link ..... thats what Im on about . Back in your box bosco !!!

Again, the reason why the specific Spa entry list isn't on the first page (other than rumours) is because it did not exist two months ago!!! Same happened with last year's race and you didn't complain about it then... Sebring thread was started a week earlier than the race actually happened so sure we had all the necessary info available by then...

You can't ask moderators to clean and edit every race thread on the forum, easier to find the entries by yourself!! All or most of the info is on the FIA page, and if it's an ALMS event just head to IMSA racing...

That list is not accurate because Gene will replace Bernhard and the Pescarolo 03 (#17) is gone.

#17 is the Dome, #16 is gone.

I know , but its the most up to date list I can find .

[gwyllion]

Look at the URL I posted earlier. The first has an up to date list of the cars and the second is the official PDF which is the same as on DSC.

[gread]

Well, whatever the entry list, I am really, really looking forward to my first visit to Spa. Great shame about Toyota & Pesca 03, but it's still a full grid of sportscars. Would have liked to have seen JMW have another run ahead of LM.

I was asking for an up to date list . Obviously its not available just yet .

Murphy proto is missing from that list too , so its out of date as well . Are Status going to Spa ?

Hmm, the first list has indeed dropped the Pesca 03 but has surprisingly enough Level 5 added to the LMP2 entrants. Surely, that's an error? No sign yet of Murphy and Status but they should be there. Also, I reckon that the 2nd Lotus in LMP2 might be dropped, it's still on the reservelist for the LM 24H so why run it at Spa?

All in all still a couple of question marks, should have been clear by now, only 1 week before the start of the event....

Yes, that's odd to see Level 5 popping up on that list- as you say, presumably an error, as I'm sure I've not seen any suggestion of them running Spa. IIRC DSC suggested a while back that Murphy and Status were likely to be there, so maybe the entry list still needs to catch up with that.
Re: the second Lotus, if they've got paying drivers for the car, then maybe there's no reason to sit out Spa- unless the deals were dependent on the car getting in at Le Mans?

[The Badger]

Murphy will definetly be there . Not sure about Status , but I thought I heard something .

Wouldnt surprise me to see level 5 there , no lack of wedge in that camp it seems .

[peckadj]

Stefan Johansson #28
Jean-Denis Delétraz #29

[morningview66]

I know its not all sorted yet, but aside from the obvious (the ALMS entries) what cars are we expecting to be gaining and loosing from the WEC for Spa??

#fia #Wec Status and Murphy finally listed on Official Spa entry. As expected but nice to have confirmation. Exclusive CORE news on Mwm Wed

So this means 4 ELMS LMP2s on the Spa entry list then (Status, Murphy, Jota and the Norma)... at least.

[Simmi]

Looks like the big changes have come at Luxury with Frankie Montecalvo and Gunnar Jeannette partnering Ehret in the Am car.

Also Brian Vickers is as third driver with Kauffman/Aguas for AF Corse.

Lots of American involvement suddenly in the WEC.
