Default Le Mans Entry List

Man this year is going to be AMAZING. Talk about an entry list that makes you drool...

Ferrari 458
Corvette ZR1
Viper GTS
Porsche RSR
Aston Martin Vantage

Then you have the Audi vs. Toyota battle which I am sure will be great. The Toyota has come a long way and should be very competitive if it doesn't run into reliability issues.

This might turn out to be one of the better races in recent years. I think all teams will be competitive and it will be one of the closest races ever.

Toyota talked about sitting out after the Spa 6hrs b/c they (finally) realized the rules favored diesels. Not sure if they are still entertaining such thoughts. Hard to believe they are going to hang with the space-age panzers for 24 hours.

Aston-Ferrari-Corvette is going to be the race to watch.

All I cared about during the ALMS/Rolex "merger" was that they left that spec alone to preserve what they have and allow them to run at Le Mans. The ALMS/LMS GT racing is the best stuff going right now, can't wait!

Toyota can't get their NASCAR engines to last 400 miles so 24 hours is going to be a real challenge IMHO. Comparing them to Audi is like comparing Boise State football to Notre Dame. New kid on the block vs perennial powerhouse.
