WEC looks decent, mostly as expected. The only surprise entry is the LMP1 Kodewa-Lotus. Only disappointed with the LMP2 numbers shrinking; only 1 OAK and no Alpine is unfortunate.
ELMS entry list looks very good. Last year LMP2 was great and it should be just as good if not better this year with quality new entries. And with no LMPC (yay) and both GT classes getting big boosts, it's just a fantastic entry list. Looking forward to Silverstone and Imola.
And the LM entry list, well, it's as expected as well. The backbone is again WEC cars, with a plethora of ELMS-based entries reinforcing LMP2, Corvette and SRT in GTE-Pro and a few ALMS entries scattered in. Should be a good race.

I don't think the Lotus is a huge surprise because last years LMP2 car was built with the 2014 LMP1 regulations in mind, it was always the plan for them but with some of their financial horrors of last year seeing them back is a bonus.

That's what I was getting at. With all their legal and financial (and performance for what it's worth) problems last year, I didn't expect them to try to make the jump to P1 this year. The fact that Kodewa is able to finance a P1 program, while at the same time OAK and Dome are forced to postpone their own P1 plans, is surprising to me.

Hopefully the car is better than the photoshop.

Sam Collins of Race Car Engineering was with Radio Le Mans the other day and says that he has seen the Porsche with his own eyes and it looks nothing like all the images seen of it online.

I don't know. He hasn't revealed anything yet.

Race Car Engineering is a very credible source, but "nothing revealed" sounds like Sam is pussy-footin' around.

That video is specific of the Le Mans 24 Hour race. I see that a specific thread for the greatest motorsports event in the world has been closed already, but I just can't grasp the rationality of it.
I will wait for another to be opened so I can discuss the Le Mans 24. Maybe the mods think it is too early for us to have one.

I can honestly say that I'm not at all surprised, sad as it might be.

Strangely enough their cars still live on as Oaks and Morgans.

Just found a place that's doing an all inclusive package to Le Mans.
Thursday to Monday with hotels all the nights plus they leave a coach at the track Saturday - Sunday if you don't want to go back to the hotel for £380.
