Not much to complain about it I have to say - excellent entry list, very good job by the selection ACO committee. The Viper on the reserve list is no surprise to me after last year's debacle, however I share the confidence shown above it will get in.

Noticeable absentees in GTE are Prospeed and Imsa Performance, anyone knows what's going on with them?

Also hoping we'll see the second KMCG P2 (as a joint effort with Gentilozzi?) get in.

Anyway, it's gonna be a cracker!

Great list. For me all the ingredients are in for a very interesting edition. I hope the Nissan to be quickly ready for the battle. I don't understand why only 2 Toyotas while all the big factories have 3 cars?
I'd like to see the Viper in the main list. We'll have to follow the LMP2 battle that would have to be hot.

Really couldn't ask for much more on that entry list. Very happy.

Now the fun really begins when it comes to filling in the driver gaps.

That's interesting, I would have thought those two were nailed on for the #34 Oak entry.

An answer of sorts regarding Prospeed:

AAI would have been one of my guesses for an early withdrawal, but maybe not.

I hope they don't to be honest; I love the final evolution of the 997 so it would be good to see it have a swansong, especially if it keeps Prospered in business (I was expecting it to be IMSA-Matmut, but was always likely to be with an established team). Good luck to them.

Would be intrigued to hear anyone else's guesses for possible withdrawals; most of the list looks pretty solid to me, maybe apart from the SMP cars.

If I had a preference it would be for the AAI guys to fold into just one car and then have the Viper get in. But what will be will be.

I make it 49 gaps to fill in the entry list. Biggest intrigue for me is obviously the remaining Nissan factory guys and the make-up of those teams.

But also Jota's line-up and how the P2 teams fill out with single-seater guys.

Four SMP LMP2 drivers:

Likewise I have one on my site - although in order to get it up quickly, I used the list from Wikipedia, which is generally pretty up to the mark. But yes, a running list would be good.

When I saw that Morand were giving away one of their race seats in a TV talent competition I dismissed it slightly...

...until just now when I saw the list of drivers.

http://www.raceto24.com/

Quite a few interesting candidates on there. Haase, Daly, Zamparelli, Summerton and Sam Brabham to name a few.

Not sure how they all applied for the process or exactly how it will be selected. But it should equate to a strong line-up.

LM entry list

Here is a link to my list, which still has lots of blank spaces to fill. It's probably easiest to save it down if you want to fit it all on one screen.

Entries marked in bold italics are WEC entrants.
The rest should be fairly self explanatory.
I have taken a couple liberties with drivers that have been confirmed but not had their car confirmed. These are generally the ones mentioned above by Simmi (Gene and the SMP guys).

Very useful Mike - I will almost certainly plagiarise it.

Thanks for the kind words. Messing around with barely useful information beats working! I did one of these last year and found it a useful addition to my Blackmore's spotters guide while trackside.
