Sorry, big mistake, I can't guarantee that they will enter.

Though it would soooo kick ass to see a Shelby Cobra Daytona replica and a Ford GT go head to head!!!!

Bentley will not be back, the entire program has been killed off. There is a slim possibility of a privateer car though for LMP1.

TMG steps up its technical research and staff recruitment for the new Formula 1 project, and Toyota secures the 12th and final entry position in the Formula 1 World Championship. At Le Mans 24 Hour race, Martin Brundle qualifies one of TMG's three cars on pole position. Two of the cars lead the race, but are eliminated by accidents after one had set a new lap record, while the third Toyota GT-One finishes a strong second. In rallying, TMG conducts its second full WRC programme with the Toyota Corolla WRC. The victory by Didier Auriol and Denis Giraudet on the first WRC event in China is the last for TMG before it pulls out of the WRC at the end of the season to concentrate on its Formula 1 project. It is one of no fewer than 15 podium (and 23 points-scoring) finishes during the WRC season by TMG drivers, but the only victory of the year - the 43rd in the WRC by a factory-entered Toyota. These results bring Toyota a third World Rally Championship of Manufacturers.

Nick, yes, Bentley have confirmed their withdrawal. It was always a three-year plan. They got to the end of the three years with all the goals attained.

The Vipers aren't run by Dodge, they are privateer teams with no factory backing.
Chrysler dropped their Viper program in 2000 and dropped out of LeMans in 2001.

LMP1 = LMP900 and LMGTP grouped into the same class.
LMP2 = former LMP675 cars, but now have a weight limit of 750kg and allowed larger engines.
Most of the rules for LMP1 and LMP2 were changed, especially on what materials and engines are allowed, which is what makes a lot of older LMP675s no longer legal, and the Panozs no longer legal.
Those are the classifications that will be used in American LeMans Series, LeMans Endurance Series, and in the 24 Hours of LeMans.
Damn right. You know much. I was there that year. They had an entry in GT1 and GT2. The GT1 car was trounced and the GT2 did whoop all the other opposition. 1995 LeMans. Man that was a good year . I'm hoping that after LeMans recently low (particularly in the recent field of entrants) that these next couple of years it will be back on form .[snip]
and I think Honda won in GT2 with the Kunimitsu NSX (can be seen n Gran Turismo 1).
