Yup, if the drivers are chosen wisely there'll be 4 uber-strong Porsches with a fifth as a backup (since Raymond Narac is still a gentleman driver in the end). With no Risi around... it'll probably end up as Corvette vs. Felbermayr at the sharp end.

So one Rebellion Lola for full-ILMC, two for Le Mans?
Robertsons have a great chance of getting both cars to the race (second car being the first of reserves) - it's more likely than not! This probably also means that they either have to skip Long Beach altogether, or just send one car to April test day. There are no other GT2 Fords that could give them the much-needed data. |

The Hope Polevision ORECA is listed as a full-season ILMC entry, so maybe that takes precedence over the Rangoni entry which is LMS only- also IIRC, when the Rangoni deal was announced, IIRC they won't be running the hybrid package until later in the season- maybe that influenced the dcision as well.

Looking at the list it doesn't seem very spectacular to me, I was hoping for some more exotic cars to appear in the Gte category.

Shame the Porsche Hybrid car will not be there, I was looking forward to see it hammering the other GT cars.

Perhaps by "exotic" he meant that hideous Abruzzi!

2 Felbermayr , Prospeed , Lizards and IMSA , brilliant .
Sad not to see Risi in the fight , but some great Ferrari teams to scrap with . Whats the rule concerning GTE/AM ..... 1 gentleman driver per car , so 2 quick drivers are still possible ? Hats off to Seth Nieman . What was that all about a US mystery team ? 4 Oreca chassis plus a Pug ..... wow ..... Last edited by The Badger; 9 Feb 2011 at 13:41. |

Also, they've changed the order of Corvettes. Number four will be #73, and 3 is #74. Don't know why they feel the need to confuse me. |

I would not mind one of the OAK Pescarolos getting dropped. 4 entries for a single team is way too much. They must be French

i even want BMS in.being on the reserve list can really make these teams hesitated:Spa24 will no longer allow GT2 in so this is probably the only race BMS can take this year;And for Tolimit,they dont have a RSR before so they should know earlier if they can finally make the start,they need time to make the deal.

I'm liking this list. Definitely happy Neiman has found his place in the GT-Am catagory so the Pro Lizards car should be pretty solid.
The Robertson's deserve those entries given their commitment to the sport over the last few years. I'm glad the ACO considered their results on the track vs. the big game Panoz and Jag have talked, yet hardly walked. So, any more details on Highcroft's plans for the season? Is this is a one and done year for them perhaps? Better than nothing I suppose. |

Plus the team is French, and they also have a credible driver line-up.
