2020 LM Entry List News
With today's sorry news that SMP have withdrawn their 2 cars from LMP1, who can we expect to turn up at Le Mans in 2020?
The remaining 2019/20 WEC field have auto entries, provided no one else throws in the towel, and Rebellion can fund two cars, and Ginetta actually put a team together. LMP1 1 Rebellion Racing Rebellion R13 - Gibson 3 Rebellion Racing Rebellion R13 - Gibson 5 Team LNT Ginetta G60-LT-P1 - AER 6 Team LNT Ginetta G60-LT-P1 - AER 7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid 8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid LMP2 22 United Autosports Ligier JSP217 29 Racing Team Nederland ORECA 07 33 High Class Racing ORECA 07 36 Signatech Alpine 'Alpine A470' 37 JCDC ORECA 07 38 Jota ORECA 07 42 Cool Racing ORECA 07 47 Cetilar Racing Dallara P217 GTE Pro 51 AF Corse Ferrari 488GTE Evo 71 AF Corse Ferrari 488GTE Evo 91 Porsche GT Team Porsche 911 RSR-19 92 Porsche GT Team Porsche 911 RSR-19 95 Aston Martin Racing Aston Martin Vantage AMR 97 Aston Martin Racing Aston Martin Vantage AMR GTE Am 54 AF Corse Ferrari 488GTE Evo 56 Project 1 Porsche 911 RSR 57 Project 1 Porsche 911 RSR 62 Red River Sport Ferrari 488GTE Evo 70 MR Racing Ferrari 488GTE Evo 77 Dempsey-Proton Porsche 911 RSR 83 AF Corse Ferrari 488GTE Evo 86 Gulf Racing Porsche 911 RSR 88 Dempsey-Proton Porsche 911 RSR 90 TF Sport Aston Martin Vantage AMR 98 Aston Martin Racing Aston Martin Vantage AMR That's 31 cars, or exactly half the LM field if the two temporary garages are retained. ByKolles have said they plan to do a few races next year, probably only in Europe, including Le Mans. That would be subject to the entry committee approving their entry request but it's hard to see them turning an LMP1 away, especially if ByKolles unveil their 2020/21 hypercar at the race, as planned. Corvette will be welcomed with open arms due to the lack of GTE Pro entries and the fact they will have a new car. And loyalty and tradition. Similarly, the factory Porsche team will have no problem getting an extra two entries if they want them. That would take Pro up to 10 cars, which would be a respectable entry. Would BMW try to get their IMSA cars in? Maybe. There will be several more gaps filled by auto entries from the other ACO series later in the year, and plenty of ELMS runners looking for a place. |

My guess, since they insist on even split
07x LMP1 (Kolles and second Rebellion) 24x LMP2 10x PRO (Corvette and extra Porsches) 21x AM |

I assume there's no chance that MissionH24 car could run?

It looks like Ben Keating will be stepping away from IMSA GTD, and possibly running his Ford in ELMS. If so, surely he would have a good shot at getting into LM.

This is hardly an announcement but it's not a flat out denial either...

Well, it's a fingers crossed situation, I guess..... It would be a shame to rob all the photoshoppers of the chance to exercise their puerile artistry again.....

On the MP podcast this week, GG was talking about the SMP situation and thought it could be possible to see an SMP make a Le Mans appearance. Nothing in the works, but just that it is in the realm of things that could happen. I'm sure the ACO wouldn't turn down another P1 entry if it was in the works.

Mid-engined Corvette officially revealed. Hopefully we will see these racing next year.

But why paint it red? Obviously painted by a person with no idea what a corvette should look like, but the car itself looks good or will do in Yellow.

It was presumably painted by someone in Corvette? Someone who’s obviously never heard of Gulf.

Jay Leno's show shows a blue one so perhaps they come in other colours

Lawrence Tomlinson is already teasing us with talk of a third Ginetta at LM. I will be happy just to see two at Silverstone.

I'm sure it's already been purchased by a group of Romanian car manufacturers...who'll disappear one day.

I'm sure that's what was hinted at during the RLM commentary.... Not sure it got any definitive answer though.
