The biggest problem is that it's Poulsen instead of Elgaard or Nielsen .
THAT would be a good line-up if they could.

Awesome! A big fan of Alan Simonsen so great to see he has a seat at Le Mans this year.

I agree with CTD about Poulsen but Im guessing he's bringing the chequebook so...

It's an Am car, so with Simonsen in the car that automatically rules out those two on driver ratings. GTE-Am cars can only have a single Gold/Platinum-rated driver.

True Victor! - i didn't think of that .

Nygaard is going to impress a lot of people, that i'm sure of.
But Poulsen is going to slow them down (like he did in the Lmp2 Porsche), but it's very likely that he pays for the whole operation!

The list is changing quicker than we can post it with driver additions, and rumoured withdrawals - a couple of which were supposed to be revealed to today.

I posted one up a couple of pages back. Someone can take a crack at updating that one if they want and if not I'll maybe take a look at it tomorrow.

Just seen the following tweet from Sam Smith/Lola cars:-

"Congrats to Status GP on getting a Le Mans invitation with their Lola LMP2 car. Sadly Dyson Racing will not be at La Sarthe in June now."

No Dyson? That's a shame.

Just seen that too. Damn. I was expecting to see maybe the second car disappear but to see both scrubbed off is a real shame. Especially for Guy Smith with my Brit hat on.

Saying that I think it would have been a big ask for them to last 24 hours.

Murphy Prototypes also move up into the race. LMP2 is INSANE in this race, but sadly we're down to just 13 LMP1s.

Updated entrylist here:
http://www.lemans.org/wpphpFichiers/..._mans_2012.pdf

Interesting to see barely any reserves left.

Dyson withdrawal finally confirmed then. Extremely sad about that, was very much looking forward to finally seeing them in La Sarthe. P1 is now looking rather depleted.

Yey, even more faceless P2s...

Shame about Dysons, and seems like Hope also gave up their reserve entry (no pun intended). GTE reserve list has severly decreased as well

Always looked a bit dodgy given that there were no other drivers listed.

Seems like some funding has fallen through behind the scenes, quite possibly with Abdul Al Faisal who tested the car at Sebring.

Yes me too. As much as I'd love to see Dyson at Le Mans, Im getting a bit over the whole 'will they wont they' game. I know things dont always pan out as planned but its still irritating ( i bet for them too).

Shame they didnt race their Spyder RS at Le Mans that would've been quite competitive.

Sorry to see Dyson drop off the entry list, but on the other hand, if they were presumably struggling to sell seats in the cars, how competitive were they likely to be, if they'd turned up with their car(s) packed out with amateur rent-a-drives?

IIRC someone said recently that Kane wouldn't be available for Le Mans due to a conflicting commitment with the G-A Oryx Audi, and apart from Al-Faisal, I don't think I'd heard any other potential drivers mentioned?

Shame to see Dyson withdraw...at least they have come closer this time by committing to do the race. Maybe they`ll actually show up next year..

But man, how epic can LMP2 possible get? 20 cars... damn.

Anyone know whether Alex Sims or Yelmer Buurman are classed as silver? If so could they make a late swoop for Guy Smith as third driver? That would be an amazing line-up!! Especially given that Status were going to lend support to the Dyson entry.

I'm just not sure how much funding they need for that effort or where it comes from?

Guy Smith as third driver is no-go, both Sims and Buurman are classified as Platinum according to the list that Roger linked to.

Surprising addition to the ACO-classified driver list though... Tonio Liuzzi (on page 9).

So we have 22 Pro Entries + 33 Pro/Am Entries + 1 Delta Wing

That is quite a weak field.

I think Platinum is a bit steep but fair enough. Would have been cool. Someone must have Liuzzi lined up for a drive or someone has enquired about him.

I wonder whether he will pop up in a Ferrari?

It's a real shame that Dyson are not going to be there, I hope Guy Smith can pick up a drive. However on the plus side this means friend of Ten-Tenth Jody Firth will get his Le Mans debut in the Murphy ORECA.
