Here's a rendering of what we can expect on the Goh RS Spyder.

Dunlop Corner should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
LMP 1 looks amazing! Audi versus Peugout will be great, now with costumer backups. Now Henri has a race winner, let's see what he can do with it. With Boullion in the car, there should be plenty of pace!
Also great to see Aston Martin with such a massive attack. 3 full works assault in this economic climate, is better than we could have wished for.
A shame though that the Dome is missing.

LMP2 should be great with 3 Porsches battling it out. Let's hope the Lola has come a little closer. But even if they are not, the 3 different Porsche teams should provide entertainment.
Who is this G.A.C. team who got accepted with an LMP2 Zytek while Barazi is on the reserve list?

GT1 is dead now that the Aston works team has moved up (come on GM!). Corvette will surely take a win, and unless something goes wrong should be a dominant 1-2. Hopefully the private Astons can take it to Alphand and avoid an all Vette podium.

A shame to see only 3 Porsches against a massive 9 (!) FIATs. But since there are only 3 Porsche teams, ACO would have had to accept a second car from on of the Porsche teams instead of a one car Ferrari team. But it is a shame, as we saw last year it only takes one bad break for the entire Porsche challenge to die and Ferraris cruising home.


Anyway an absolutely brilliant list. I thought last year would be a "1999" year, where after a massive race most of the factories disappeared. But it seems this race could be even better than the legendary edition of 2008!

looking on the right hand side of the entry list this also confirms the new R15 engine is a 5.5 litre......but dunno if its a V10 or a V12???.......there is speculation its a V10 on mikes site

No Deborah

Looks pretty good. Lets hope the Pugs and Audis are evenly matched (behind the Astons ).
And Henri has joined them, which woul dmake it particularly funny if the Aston wins (which it won't).

He only has one driver so far , Boullion . Primat and his money went to AMR and Collard to Essex . I cant see Dumas driving for Pescarolo this year because of the Pug connection ?

I cant believe there is no Dome though .

Remember Sebah car is the Charouz car from last year. It is not involved in the factory effort. Entry list is deceptive since it lists all of them in a row.

Not involved in the factory effort to win the race, but that doesn't exclude support... aka couple of engineers placed in the team?

Horse's mouth:

The team Speedy-Sebah bought a Lola-Aston Martin. Will AMR be as much involved in this team as in 2008 with the Charouz Racing System team?

“No, we will not, but we will support the team as much as they need us to on the engine and other technical matters. We are very happy to have another Aston Martin powered car in the field.”

I never said it was involved with the factory effort, i said AMR will have an agreement with sebah for there car to play a supporting roll for the AMR cars if its needed.

Too bad the Reiter Gallardo GT2 didn't get an invite. It would be nice to see a new car in GT2.

And ofcourse a second Spyker in GT2

Instead of all those Ferraris, it definately would have been nice to have a bit of variety. The Lambo, the LG Riley/Vette, another Aston....

Maybe ACO know something negative about Asian LMS. Last year 3 LMP1 ( Dome, Tokai, and Terramos ) but this year zero at the 24 hours. strange, i'd have bet BIG money on the Dome getting an invite ................
