No Drayson, which is sad, but DSC intimate there is more to that than has been announced. Good to see Brabs and Highcroft back though, which was looking doubtful for a while.

Not enough Corvette's sadly. The sound of them just topped my whole trip last year. No Ginetta or the Mansell's for the entertainment factor this year? weeping Poor Lawrence Tomlinson, must still be licking his wounds from last year. Hopefully he is saving his money to invest in a TVR team next year! Come on LT... you know you want to! bounce

Since LNT's split from Zytek their cars seem to have reverted to the original branding.

LNT are entering a Radical at Sebring and I believe are planning on creating a new Ginetta LMP car.

The Gt class should be good again. But why no Risi and no Nissan GTRs?

It's a 24h race. Nissan would need the GTR's to do at least 3 consecutive laps before a warning light comes on..
(sorry, couldn't resist the troll statement)...

Yup, Risi & JLOC (who did finish last year I believe) both notable in their absence.

Don't like the new GT format.

So everything is Gt2 now?

Nice to see a bit of spread in the GT classes, given recently it's just been 911 vs 430 and Vette vs Aston it's great to see some different names on there, shame there aren't a few more Astons or the GTR's.

There are two GT categories, LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am. The entries are GT2 cars, category is based on drivers. Grandfathered GT1 cars were not excluded, none applied.

Risi didn't apply, neither did Spyker or Jaguar (the last one, to me, isn't a surprise or loss). I nfact there are big names from previous years mssing in both LMP and LMGT categories. Should make for a very interesting race.

As ever, replacements are taken from the appropriate reserve list, so LMP drop out is replaced by the next entry on the LMP reserve.

Sad there is no JLOC this year. I believe they did finish but they also had a solid session in the pits and were ultimately disqualified at the end for not completing enough laps.

JLOC were a DNF at 138 laps although made it to 20 hours after repeated stays in their garage.

Still way better than the Jaguar which was touted as 'not anything like JLOC'.

Indeed - a curious absence.

Wondering what we might see Mr Cocker driving this year if there's no Drayson Racing entry.

I guess this explains the Drayson absence;

Not sure what to make of that at the moment.

ETA: Not sure where this leaves Jonny Cocker this year.

Interesting...

Although I can't wait to see them rock up in the paddock with their truck and trailer - I suspect it might just dwarf those of their fellow competitors.... wink

Surprised no Risi, but I see they may be there behind the scenes as Tracey Krohn has entered a F430.

Loads of free ice cream for half a lap??

Nigel's not good enough, and too busy doing insurance ads on TV with his Scalextric.
