The Signature car--is that an Oreca Courage or an older Courage LC70?

Yeah, mostly because the Ferraris are better. Do you see Ferraris taking each other out thae race like Porsche did last year :P

Disappointed the Barazi car is not invited.

Wow, some big suprisese (for good and bad)

3 R15s? Thought some guys were reporting just 2?
Pescarolo to run a Peugeot. This made me smile, espacially after how critical Henri has been of diesels, and weird timing as well. The disel performance advantage will be gone for this year.
Sad not to see a Dome S102 on the list. Love it or loath it, you cannot fail to admit that car was fast (before it's problems) last year. Sounded great as well.
3 AMRs. Glad to see, hopefully AMR can put up a serious challenge and i hope they haven't overloaded their basket with too many eggs, so to speak.
Vitaphone RS Spyder? Great news! Thought it wasn't going to happen though, that's what DSC were saying on radio le mans last night that it was "unlikely"
4 'vettes, 2 Lambos and 2 Astons? Great to see Jet Alliance of course, should certainly be able to challenge for victory, but a shame not to see any Saleens on the entry list from either ARC or Full Speed Racing or even Labre for that matter.
As much as i adore Ferrari, i have to say we need to balance this out a bit. There is a lot of diversity in GT2 at the moment with Astons, Lambos and M3s. Would have been nice to see a bit more diversity.

Summing up then, a pretty good entry list, excited for the race already!

How sure can we be that Dome (with or without ECOSpeed) actually applied for entry? News at dome.co.jp is only in Japanese and Google translation is too gibberish but I can't see anything referring clearly to Le Mans this year. I know Japanese Samurai's translations in the Toyota thread and that Japanese site (sports-carracing.net) that mentioned oddly LMS, 24LM, last race of ALMS and Fuji+Shangai, but was this stuff official?

WMUCarGuy · 26 Feb 2009, 18:00

Will we ever see a list of the 27 teams that didn't make it? I'd be interested to see who didn't make the cut.

The drivers took each other out , not the car . And if you knew the full story , you would realise that it was obviously an accident . Like Enge had , and Kelleners , Bruni , Schumacher , Prost ..... oh wait , they were all Ferrari drivers wernt they !!! ..... But Ferrari's dont do that , you say

We will see if Ferrari are better this year . But Porsche wernt sitting stiltwiddleing their thumbs , or maybe they were ?

Now, now! Take it where it belongs.

I have a better idea: Down with the LM-Forum!!!

Really, there are not a whole lot of threads in there and most are moved there from here. I think I would have completely missed this thread if it was hidden in there...

Yep !!!

Thinking about it , im surprised Vitaphone didnt do a deal for an Audi R10 for the race .

Official enough:

Taken from Mariantic about ECOSpeed:

"LMS, Asian LM Series & some ALMS plus LM"
