Mika Hakkinen, Frankie Chen, and Thomas Jager will be the drivers for the Mercedes supposedly. Also, Level 5's PR says they will be at China. The entry list says otherwise, but I guess we'll see.

re:

You think the GT3 cars will be running up to the speeds of the GT2 cars. The GT3's were actually faster at Silverstone. Granted I dont know about the quality of the teams that will run the Audis and the one Mercedes but it will be interested. I hope there will be a way to watch it streaming on line

Great to see Mercedes in the ILMC, even if it is just in GTC. Any chance they could do a full WEC season?

I doubt it. They would have to build/convert a GTE product.

I hope Hakkinen gets the endurance bug and maybe moves up to GT next year. Would be good to see whether he has the pace but I'm not sure whether his Merc links will prevent him driving something else.

Do these cars have to run the standard GT3 tires for this race, or can they get their hands on some GTE rubber? That could make a difference in the consistency of their lap times.

Are Audi and Peugeot doing their streams? Presumably they will be if the track is fitted out with the right infrastructure.

For the past two events the races have been on the ACO site.

I don't think Audi or Peugeot had a stream for PLM, most likely something to do with the ALMS TV contract.

I believe they're running in full FIA GT3 spec so I doubt that.

Also, does anyone know why is Andy Meyrick replacing Adrian Fernandez?

John Dagys said Adrian Fernandez has NASCAR commitments. He also confirmed Hakkinen's ILMC debut.

VIP tickets are available from Macau Tickets. (MOP = Macau Patacas. US$1 about MOP8)

The Saturday ticket is MOP2,000... for less than an hour's qualifying... so steep...

Seems like it, the main sponsor is owned by Lowe's who is Fernandez's main personal sponsor in racing.
