Probably not, the car is only rumoured to race at the N24 next year and nothing else.

That's a bit sad... It would be nice if that car would compete in ALMS!

I think everyone wants a piece of the LFA. Bit of a shame to see it confined to one race potentially. I suppose if it has a good run it could see the programme expanded.

apr is building up a second GT300 Prius with the AsLMS in mind, but they are not certain about it. Would not be too stunned to see an unexpected new Japanese LMP turn up too.

G'd night GT-Eins. monkeyhead post in this topic a list of teams that attended to the press conference in Shanghai.

Earlier this year, I heard from a good source that ORECA is intended to race in the "notorious" Asian Le Mans Series with a LMP2 further forward circumstances permitting.

Well - attending a press conference is some steps ahead of participating in a series
So apart from the Aston team we have no confirmed participants yet?
My guess is that 20 cars would be needed to found a basis to build on - 18 to come....

By the way - did we already mention here that Dome received customer requests to build a LMP2-Version of its S102 for AsLMS?

On our forum there were some unconfirmed speculations about possible Entrants - but 80% GT3:

So they might be able to put together a field and still have a huge problem: When is a series an LM series? Surely having 15 GT3s, one GTE and 2 P2s would be rather embarrassing for the ACO, might just as well call it Blancpain Asia...

Compared with Patrick Peters ELMS-grid-visions from last winter this sounds refreshingly realistic...

I thought maybe someone might have picked up on this but this is some great news for the AsLMS.

A likely two-car LMP2 campaign from Atlantic Racing with a long-term view to racing at Le Mans. Exactly what the series needs. Hopefully they can get all the funding together.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Juntos means an AsLMS programme.

Another French team looking very closely at it is OAK. Jacques Nicolet is non-committal about pretty much everything in this E-I piece but the thing he seems most sure about is the AsLMS.
