Too bad the Reiter Gallardo GT2 didn't get an invite. It would be nice to see a new car in GT2.
And ofcourse a second Spyker in GT2

Instead of all those Ferraris, it definately would have been nice to have a bit of variety. The Lambo, the LG Riley/Vette, another Aston....

Maybe ACO know something negative about Asian LMS. Last year 3 LMP1 ( Dome, Tokai, and Terramos ) but this year zero at the 24 hours. strange, i'd have bet BIG money on the Dome getting an invite ................

Yeah, makes no sense, LMS entrants Barazi and WR are reserve and Vitaphone gets in?
And how come Larbre is so low on the reserves but a complete unknown quantity from China gets a higher placement?

Interesting that...
Makes sense for Audi to run a known quantity in terms of drivetrain while developing a new engine for the 2011 rules. Since there aren't going to be any major changes in terms of the chassis come 2011 all they will need to do is upgrade the drivetrain (in theory, i'm not an engineer )

The most glaring oversights for me include the Barazi-Epsilon car being left off - the GAC Zytek is not more deserving, nor is the Radical. No problem with Vitaphone on there though - they are one of the best sportscar teams in the world and have entered the best LMP2 car in the world. Also absurd is the lack of Saleen, but the JLOC Lambo being allowed in. That entry has always proved to be a gong show, and to see Larbre at the bottom of the reserve list given their performance in qually last year is galling.
I think that other than the absence of a Dome (which should have got the entry over Creation IMO, since the latter is not racing elsewhere this year apparently), the P1 list is excellent. Cream rises to the top...
Why do I have a hunch that the AF Corse entry will become the Advanced Eng. Team Seattle car? Yawn.

+1, especially as it seems this will become the premier GT class next year. If not only.

No problem with Vitaphone. They have prooved their worth in FiA GT, and they had a semi-entry last year IIRC with a DBR9
