Aren't we forgetting...

ByKolles - CLM
SMP - 2 cars, BR engineering (with help from Dallara)

So assuming SMP willow and have 1 car, that's 5 confirmed LMP1 proivateers for next year (I think)? 2 factory 'Yotas gives a class of 7.

This further assumes that the previously pressed sale of the first 3 Ginettas was to Manor. If it's someone else, then you can add them (I think it was Manor, personally). Can't believe Dragonspeed would have bought 3 cars ages ago then announced entry with no chassis.

Daily Sportscar don't seem to think so:

With this announcement, Manor and TRS’ effort becomes the second Ginetta customer for its LMP1 programme, after the Yorkshire-based brand revealed that an unnamed customer team had purchased three chassis earlier this year.

Graham Goodwin is incredibly well informed - he's like Eddie Jordan without the wig or making 75% of stuff up on the spot.

If he says there are 2 teams, then you know there are 2 teams!

Nice one smile
