First wave of 2019 Le Mans 24 Hours entries revealed
Discussion
No major surprises..... good to see a Ford GT competing in AM, as well as what I suspect will be the old Aston Martin Vantage's swan song.
Keen to focus on peoples' thoughts on the PRO Category this year. Porsche have to be front runners, but it looks to be the most exciting year yet!

No real surprises. The first tranche mostly being the WEC full season entries and those auto entries already decided before the Asian series conclude later this month.
Absent from the list are the IMSA GTLMs so we can expect Corvettes and further cars from Porsche, Ferrari and Ford but not, as I understand it, BMW in GT Pro. There is real pressure on the number of LMP2s and some notable teams are likely to end up in the ten car reserve list with little prospect of getting to Le Sarthe in June

Yes their two WEC cars are in. But they are running another two cars in IMSA. Those wont be entered from what I've read on dailysportscar.com
However last year we got two extra Porsches and Fords as well as the two Corvettes and a Risi Competizione Ferrari from IMSA Add ALL those in and the GT Pro+Am looks to be oversubscribed with already 10+15 confirmed before any entries come in from IMSA and ALMS. There are two or three GT Am and one or two LMP2 automatic invitations still to come from ALMS (one entry is a choice between LMP and GT).
