Would be great to see Jeroen rebound into a seat. Very tough though.

So many GP2/GP3 guys out there sniffing around drives. Just look at the ELMS test right now.

I'd say that Matt Murry is a safeish bet for the Greaves car. Chinese driver Adderley Fong is also apparently being evaluated for an LM drive (via DSC). I'll go out on a limb and guess that's with KCMG.

Interesting that Jack Leconte seemingly can't guarantee Larbre would race at LM - even if they got into the race as first reserve.

http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/jac...ouler-au-mans/

Personally I think if they get an invite they will be there. Seems like Leconte is venting a bit in the interview. But with his history and his support of the ACO series' maybe he could have expected an entry.

I think the ACO sensed it was maybe a late deal coming together quite speculatively.

Fong was testing with Pegasus, an ELMS entry/LM24 reserve.

Maybe we should start spreading that old "stripped the coloured paint off to save weight" story but for Porsche this time.

Not an addition to the entry - rather a guy you can scrub off.

George Richardson will not drive for JMW at Le Mans despite being in the ELMS line-up and the named reserve-listed driver. In fact none of the ELMS line-up will do the big race.

A "very interesting announcement" coming. I wonder who it could be...

Karun Chandhok back for Le Mans with Murphy: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/113393

He'll also do Silverstone and maybe Imola in the ELMS.

Quite a few IFs in the post because it's not certain whether we'll even see this car.

But seemingly after having their 3 drivers confirmed Autosport/Gary Watkins thinks that Christophe Bouchut/Pierre Kaffer will race at LM.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/113399

Not sure what clashes Holzer and Rossiter have though?

Bertolini plus two others perhaps?

I think Bertolini is probably going to be in the SMP 458.


EDIT: Samurai beat me to it on Taisan.

Unless I've missed something - they can't enter that line-up in the AM class. Gold/Gold/Bronze isn't allowed as far as I'm aware.

Not sure if they've managed to get Jonsson knocked back down to silver. Or maybe Malucelli after his recent driving haha.

Does the prediction thread for Le Mans do a pick for the first retirement, because I'm calling dibs on this entry not making 6 hours.

Bit of test day entry news - Tommy Erdos will race the Zeod RC in place of Lucas Ordonez who is on SuperGT duty.
