So this weekend the race to Le Mans starts with the Sebring 12 hours race, provisional entry list here

Not the best entry list but here's hoping it'll be a good race, anyone else going to be watching?

Used to be a BIG Lizards fan, but have cooled towards them in recent years. They seem to have accepted mid pack mediocrity.

Just typed that whilst waiting for that link to open and they're not even turning up at Sebring! Good thing Strakka are there. Hope they have a good race.

They're entering two cars at Sebring.

Was expecting more from Aston Martin, though they have no reason to show a strong hand just yet. Fingers crossed for them and jrm

That's a really early provisional list, quite a few cars and teams have been added since, I'd try and find an up to date one but I'm on my iPhone at my girlfriends house.

The autosport link gives you a good idea, still a few cars didn't venture out today tho

Almost as good as when the Canadian GP and Le Mans are on the same weekend, looking forward!

What a load of utter rubbish. Lizards had a difficult year last year against the 458 and the prototype BMWs, but to say they've "accepted mid pack mediocrity" is a bloody insult.

They enter ALMS, not WEC. They are at Sebring and have topped at least one of the test sessions so far. But as such a big Lizards fan I'm sure you would've seen that already...

I thought I saw that all 3 of them crashed - #2 being mixed up in the same accident as 31,12 & 3, or was that mis-reported?
  1. 3 hit the Rebellion according to Autosport and #1 then ran into the #3 with McNish just avoiding it all in the #2. Nice to see Audi still have the tractor beam still switched on wink

According to Rebellion the car is "... not too much hurted and under repair. Nick is ok. Loc Duval went to apologise, nice from him."



BTW it is now clearly running under Lotus branding; Lot-ola-ota?

Looks nice but I still prefer the old Rebellion colours. Bet they are glad they bought Peugeots tent now, loads of room!
