[1LM1]

Yes great one Very high level this year.
Good surprises in all categories.
4 (!!) Pescarolo expected (3 in LMP1 and 1 in LMP2).
3 Audi + 1 Lola Audi = 4
2 Peugeot, etc., etc.
4 Aston, 4 Corvette, 2 Official Saleen
Better than last year at every level.

[harvick#1]

should be a great Lemans this year

GT1 and GT2 will be great.

P1 will most likely be Audi vs. Peugeot. but don't count out Dome, Pescarolo, and Courage. plus it will be fun to see what Swiss Spirit can do with Audi Power

P2 will be a crap shoot. having Lola's, Courages, Pescarolo's, Dome's, Zyteks. it should be a dandy

[Sleeper]

Are we sure about the three Audi's, I know Dr. Ullrich has said he'll send a third if they can get outside sponsorship for it.

Dont count out the Creations Harvick, their fast, if a little fragile at times.

Does anyone know which team is tacking the Pescarolo into LMP2, and what happened to Lister as they were the second team (after Rollcentre) to buy one but I think both teams intend to race in LMP1.

[harvick#1]

Kruse Motorsport is driving a Pescarolo LMP2

and I think Audi should find a sponsor before July as everyone knows the car is a front runner and favorite to win Lemans.

and yeah Creation has been good when they are one

I wonder if the Lola Audi can do better than the Pescarolo.

I really hope that Peugeot will achieve a great result but I am realistic. I know that reliability issues will hinder the 908 this year.
The question is: will the 908 be able to complete the race?
I know that both cars will spend a lot of time in the pits but I expect at least a finish in the top 10.
I know, It's not so easy but if they retire before the end, I admit I would be very disappointed.

Harvick, I forget to mention that that list is only those that have been invited to the Le Mans warm up two weeks before the race, not all of them are going to take it up. For instance, I dont think Rollcentre are going to be running the Radical again, I think they might have even sold it.

The final list of entries will be known after that when all the dropouts are gone and replaced by the reserves and its too late to do anything about any other dropouts.

Interesting that Lister isn't even in reserve. They should get the car ready by June.
