Mt. Lynx should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Same here. To take a GT3 spec car and turn it into a GTE spec takes alot of effort, time and money.

The R8 is not likely to get a GTE treatment at all. Something with the suspension pick up points, that works against a GTE car. Plus WRT will probably do GTWC.

McLaren did initially say they were going to make a GTE car aswell, but I have yet to see any confirmation about it. And either way, it will not be on the grid 2012.

Marc VDS has gone with BMW Z4 and BES AFAIK. No takings at all for the Lambda Ford GTE as of yet.

YDAMR will most likely do GTWC with a GT3 Vantage V12 the way it looks right now. The V8 Vantage GTE is however said to be up for some serious treatments to be competitive in GTE.

AFAIK Mercedes has no plans to make a GTE car.

The RSR Jaguar effort is barely a joke, so not likely. Possibly a X-C16 GT3 for 2013.

Nissan has just finished development of their GT3 car, so not likely any GTE effort in the foreseeable future.

There are other rumors going around though. As always. What happend to the LF-A GTE? And what of Dodge Viper?

I wonder how long it will be until we actually see GT3 cars at Le Mans though? All current GTE constructors also has GT3 cars... And GT3 are seemingly more successful than GTE ATM.
