    Interesting to see the Maserati in that list, its the first suggestion I've seen that the ACO will allow it to compete at Le Mans.

    They invited the 2006 FIA GT champions, a Maserati team, for this year, but they withdrew.
    Give Leon a kick and tell him to get to work!

    99.9%, no I believe only the European teams who bought RS Spyders will try and be invited.

    I suspect it's more likely that Vitaphone will either not take the entry up, or lease something else that's ACO-legal for Le Mans....

    Forgive my ignorance here, but does one entry invite mean one car (ie Audi North America have 2 invites = 2 entries, Pescarolo have 1 invite = 1 car)?

    Obviously I know more will be added to bring it up to the 55 entry limit.

    yes, these are the guaranteed entries offered to teams based on 2007 reults- usually the class winners/top two in each class in ALMS and LMS, class winners in FIA GT etc. 1 invite = 1 car

    I think its was Porsches decision, I think they'd rather win overall than winning LMP2 in the race, but I think its time Porsche would make a Porsche Coupe to win Lemans again
