15 cars, Greaves, Boutsen-Ginion, Murphy, Race Performance, OAK and Thiriet-TDS in LMP2; JMB, JMW and IMSA-MATMUT in GTE-Pro, AF and IMSA-MATMUT in GTE-Am, and two LMPCs- Boutsen-Ginion and Curtis Racing Technologies

A couple of surprises- the Gulf McLaren for Blancpain is listed in GTC, although the press release makes clear that it's just a shakedown for the McLaren, which 'will be competing in another series'
However, they've also got their GTE Aston on the list- Hopefully that means they'll be doing some ELMS races...?

Is the lack of LMPC cars a cause for concern?
IIRC when the full-season entry list was announced without LMPC entries, the suggestion was that there would be 6-8 of them, and that they hadn't been announced as their original test had been cancelled

is it me or are the FIA/ACO intent on destroying our sport....theres no stability these days. fia gt has gone from its glory days to stealing drivers and cars from lower catagories, probably destroying the great series that was gt3, the blanchpain endurance series was started, god knows why the competitors couldnt enter gt3 or gt1 and then the aco split to ake the WEC and ELMS....and the result is 15 cars....from around 45 last year....ITS A JOKE!!!!
