No, the ALMS automatic invites have been given to Level 5, Conquest and ESM, things like classes and the Michelin Green X Challenge were not taken into account. If any other ALMS team wants to race at Le Mans, they'll have to apply for entries in the "regular" way.

I don't see Dyson making the trip to be honest. They've still not got a handle on the car after a season.

Dyson have turned down auto invites so many times that it is pointless giving them one unless they show some real intention to go.

Agree wholeheartedly Badger.
If I want to see Dyson run I'll travel to the US to do so. |

It's one thing for Henri to rock up a few miles down the road with an unprepared car. It's another to jet across the ocean. So I can understand why Dyson aren't up for it. There's not really any basis for comparison between the two.
Certainly wouldn't make a trip to the US to see Dyson. Does sound like there will be a couple more American entries according to John Dagys, one being a first-time entrant. |

Ah - but a trip to the US is on the cards at some stage next year and I may well want to see some protos...

I stated on the other thread too, but for the sake of completeness I suspect it's Corvette and SRT. If so, 7 entrants from the US in total wouldn't be a bad number (much as I assume the Conquest car will be an Oak one and not the same car as used in the US).
