Looks like Smet has replaced Hallyday at Larbre! So much for the Hallyday vs. Alphand celeb match-up they were promoting!

I noticed Vitaphone are running a DBR9 at Le Mans. Have we seen the car in Vitaphone colours? I cant find any images. I think that could look quite striking.

WMUCarGuy should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
So from my calculations there are 8 seats that have yet to be unfilled (11 really, but I'm pretty sure we'll see Ehret/Kaffer/Nielsen in the Farnbacher Ferrari)

Here's what's still to be announced:
1 x LMP1 Epsilon Euskadi
1 x LMP2 Bruichladdich Radical
1 x LMP2 Saulnier Pescarolo
1 x GT1 IPB Spartak Lambo
3 x GT2 AF Corse Ferrari
1 x GT2 BMS Scuderia Ferrari

since the "true" Vitaphone Racing Team is not coming to LM, hard to see the DBR9 in the classic green and black livery of the MC12 !

There's one more seat not filled yet, it's the 3rd driver of the Kruse-Schiller LMP2 Lola Mazda, only Hideki Noda and Jean de Pourtales are fix.

Burgueño, De Castro, Johansson, Gounon, Nakano... how I wish one more car had retired from the entry list...this line up deserved two entries... Best luck for them this weekend.
Unfortunetely, in spain they do not get the support they need, but what Epsilon Euskadi is doing for spanish motorsport is more valious than one Mr.Fernando Alonso...

Great driver picks ..... but im unsure about the article on PLM ..... it says that they are waiting for the green light from the ACO , obviously this means there is another pullout ?

Any idea on who that might be ?

The reserve list is closed so this team news is assuming they still had a chance of getting the second car in...which they will not. The big question now is which 3 of those 5 will be at Le Mans... I'll keep you posted

Thanks Gabriel ..... As far as I was aware , the deadline for reserve was the test weekend .

So it looks like only one of the mentioned will get it , plus the un-named driver .

Be great to see what Johansson might do with it , he hasnt lost any of his speed over the years .

AF Corse to 24 hours of Le Mans
Amato Ferrari has decided!
Confirmed participation in the most prestigious race: the 24h of Le Mans.
Another important concern for the AF Corse that as the years passed was invited by the Organization, as winner of the FIA GT2 Championship 2007, to participate in the tender. Experienced pilots also leading Ferrari 430 GT2 on earth French ready to fight to win the race which is worth a season!
Tony Vilander, Thomas Biagi and Christian Montanari already this weekend will be involved in testing pre-race and between 15 days guide for 24 consecutive hours their Ferrari 430 specially arranged by the technical department.
A hard work of preparation for both technical for the general organisation which will involve all members of the team.
