Announcing that at LM would be the worst possible thing to do though!

The source of the Autohedbo rumor is this: https://twitter.com/matlemans/status/473561439719133184

"Return of a constructor". Also constructor = translation from French according to the tweeter, so also means manufacturer.

Good point . That has been typically announced on the thursday press conference.

That sounds by far the most credible to me, everything else seems a bit too good to be true. And we know what that usually means...

Looks like the spec-engine supplier for LMP-3 might be announced at LM according to the guys at E-I:

Quote:
Il est fort possible que l’on en sache un peu plus sur le sujet dans les prochains jours, notamment au niveau du fournisseur moteur. Lors de la Journée Test des 24 Heures du Mans, plusieurs sources nous ont précisé que le choix pourrait se porter sur un moteur V6 et non plus V8. Le prix de vente de l’auto devrait se situer entre 150 et 180 000 euros.
I really hope that that isn't the big announcement, but seeing how overhyped some things have been lately, I wouldn't be overly surprised if it was. Just a hunch, but something tells me it could be Renault.

A good team should have a little bit of Courage, specially if they want a 56 box entry

Another option, just to throw it out there. The 'return' of McLaren (in GTE)?

Personally I believe next year's G56 attempt will be announced, so I won't hold my breath.

What the heck?!?

lol

The way sports car announcements go and things are over hyped I wouldn't be surprised if it's about g56 or lmp3 engine supplier.

But you never know,I thought nissans announcement was going to be about something else not as exciting and I was wrong.i wouldn't mind being wrong again.

Personally I wouldn't mind McLaren-honda,would be way better fit for p1 than ford.

Agreed. Ford should just go build an Indycar engine for now.

Move the press conference to race day to announce... lmp3? Thatd be anticlimactic. And what does lmp3 have to do with Le Mans if its not even a class that can race there? I hope its not that.

Ferrari is perhaps the only brand in motorsport, powerful enough to offset such an important event as race day at LM. For every other brand or type of announcement would simply be a very bad idea to use race day as a platform. An official Ferrari return will shake things down for the whole day and the night. If you have the power and you want to steal the show, that is exactly when you play it - on race day. Alonso waving the flag for the start is not a coincidence....

Could just be a coincidence. Mercedes has some marketing for the AMG-GT that includes their efforts at Le Mans....

Thankfully it's not. They're already heavily cutting costs in DTM to finance their massive F1 programme. There's no chance in hell they put a LMP1 programme on top of that!

The big announcement will be that market studies showed that the best way to build excitement before the race was to announce the release of some exciting information on race day.

No, the big announcement will be some journalist announcing their travel itinerary of the airports they'll be at via twitter.

The more important question is: Will he get an upgrade to business class?

They are trying to expand their customer sports business, though. So I could see a P2 or P3 engine supply deal...
