but some very interesting entries. 4 Audi's for starters (2 'normal', 2 hybrid), the Pesca Dome and the Pesca 03 (AMR-ONE?)

Nice to see Marino Franchitti getting the No. 56 drive as well.

LMP2 is going to be stunning.

Wow, there's a lot of Japanese engines on the grid there.

Agree GTE seems a bit bland with no Evora (yet), BMW, Spyker etc

[JulesV]

No RML in LMP2 either which is a shame.

Apart from the Vettes it wouldnt be bad if they ran it only with prototypes this year, LMP2 is stacked.

I think lead driver is slightly misleading, it is just that the teams need to nominate one driver, at least, per car at time of entry. Naming just one gives the teams some wiggle room should anything occur.

The Greaves car certianly does offer an enticing prospect. Ordonez has proven himself well, Alex Brundle is a great prospect and McNish still maintains that Brundle Snr is the best he has ever seen on the brakes into Mulsanne.

Lucas ? Where do you have this from ?

I thought he will be driving for Greaves in the Nissan Zytec LMP2.

Same car... i.e. they're all in a Greaves LMP2


ETA : Listened to it being announced on Radio Le Mans, when ACO announced yesterday.

Agreed that GT doesn't look up to much - the Evora was brilliant last year. Needs more cars and more variety.

Excited about the P2 race. P1 if Toyota really give it a good effort rather than a "this is our first year, we are not competing" should be good, I know it is optimistic to think they will be bothering the Audis, but we can hope. Shame that there are no Astons (V12 or otherwise) in the prototype field, Le Sarthe will certainly be a quieter place without those V12s smashing your eardrums

To be honest, a bunch of bangers could be racing and LM week would still be unmissable, roll on June!

Getting slightly more optimistic about the Toyotas, they are running the whole of the WEC now apart from Sebring so the the season is turning into a proper effort rather than a testing year. The Audi Hybrid times at Sebring will be interesting. Seriously tempted to goto the Spa race now.
