I was thinking the same thing!
Actually announced programs are all in LMH right now? Toyota GR Super Sport x2 SCG 007 x2 (?) ByKolles x1 Alpine x1 But it's reasonable to think Aston, Ferrari and Porsche will have two cars each in Pro again, and Corvette Racing will be itching to return. |

I think we can be reasonably confident that it will happen Simon, the question will be whether we get the chance to be there.....

Yes i agree it will probably happen but if we are not there again then interest will begin to wain and perhaps the magic that was our week in France every year will change forever.

Yes, a second year at home is not a possibility that I really want to contemplate....

I wonder if any teams need someone to make the tea, might be the only way we get to see the race

We're all confident that it will happen in some form or other, but we haven't considered the possibility of a repeat of 2020.
It's not inconceivable that next spring will see a similar coronavirus situation to last spring, prompting the ACO again to push back the date by three months, or whatever. |

Surely they'd have to push it back again. Running two years without fans is brutal for the ACO.

The ACO will be on their knees if they have another year of no fans and therefore little income, plus teams will start to vanish as sponsorship ebbs away. The ACO did a good job with the race behind closed doors this year but can they do that again with all the costs involved and little income?. We are all holding our breath but things do not seem to be improving and hope is slowly eroded. However we have little to look forward to lets all plan to be there in June and soldier on regardless.

I took a Motorsport quiz of ‘which race are you’? It came up with Le Mans. No doubt once we are back to normal and my life is all sorted out I will make plans

Jan Magnussen just confirmed that he will join High Class racing in the 2021 WEC including Le Mans.
Will be good to have him back i an all danish lineup and danish livery on the car. |

Thanks Ayse for unlocking the thread.
Weathertech Racing are stepping up to GTLM in IMSA and will put in a Le Mans entry which will surely be granted. MacNeil, Estre and Bruni for Daytona. Not sure yet for LM https://twitter.com/EnduranceInfo1/s...20870317158408 |

My prediction for GTE-Pro:
- 2x Porsche factory entry - 1x Porsche Weathertech - 2x Corvette factrory entry - 2x Ferrari factory entry - 1x Ferrari Risi Competizione - 1x Ferrari Cetilar sadly far away from recent years....(Ford, BMW, Aston) I guess GTE-Pro is agonising and on the way to turn into a GT3 category, which means a merge with GTE-Am..... how do you see it? |

Very strong WEC lineup for Jota. Vandoorne, Blomqvist and Gelael. I think P2 could be really stacked with great drivers trying to position themselves for all these upcoming manufacturer seats. |
