The latest entry list now shows three Blancpain Racing Reiter Lamborghinis in place of the TBAs.
Nicky Catsburg, Maximilian Voelker and Marcelo Hahn.

Additionally, the 2015 driver entry section of the PWC website, also lists
Albert Von Thurn und Taxis, in a fourth Gallardo.

This series just keeps getting better and better!

Let's not get silly. It's going to be good as long as it stays green.

Coach Ep · 3 Mar 2015, 16:06 (Ref:3511219)

I'll be there Fri (some point in the morning, should be in time for GT practice 1) till Sun, probably working turn station 3 for Sat + Sun, no idea about Fri yet. I'm easy to spot in orange, make sure you are fast Mike or you'll get lots of blue flags from me!

Marcelo Hahn was the one name I hoped we wouldn't see back this year - I'll make sure that in the rare occasion I have to go trackside, he's passed me when I do so...

I don't think PWC is suddenly going to become bigger than the biggest endurance race on the continent before even running a race this year.

Porsche917K · 4 Mar 2015, 03:24 (Ref:3511467)

Am I reading the entry list right that there is only 1 Porsche run by Effort racing? Also has Porsche come out with the 991 gt3r yet?

Both Effort Porsches are listed. The #31 Dalziel car in the GT class and the #41 driven by Michael Lewis in the GT-A subclass.
Here is version eight of the Cota entry list.

There is also a third Porsche GT3R entered by Autometrics Motorsports for Joseph Toussaint.

Regarding the 991, there have been some spy shots of a 991 GT3 car testing, but I don't think that the car is expected to make it's racing debut until 2016.

KPAX @KPAXracing · 2h 2 hours ago Here's your first look at the 2015 @WCRacing K-PAX Racing with @FlyingLizard_MS @McLaren_GT liveries!

I like the new liveries, very McLaren, but I'm going to miss the gorgeous dark blue and yellow from last year.

I do like it when team cars are inverse colors like this though.

They couldn't even if they wanted because of the stupid F1 restrictions.

Flying Lizard @FlyingLizard_MS As you can see, our liveries have changed slightly over night. They're going to evolve over the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

Good parity in FP1.
A Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Nissan and Porsche top five. Also a Bentley, a Audi and a Cadillac represented in the top ten.

I wonder if the coolish temperature will produce some really special lap times in Qualifying.

Coach Ep · 7 Mar 2015, 02:29 (Ref:3512645)

stopped by af your pitbox at the end of the day Mike (around 5 pm) but unfortunately you were out to dinner one of your crewmembers told us.

Hope you'll wave at the bear at turn 3 tomorrow! :-)

Good first day apart from the Beamer-Viper clash, not sure what happened there but one of them/both clearly didn't pay attention at the drivers meeting...

PWC GT(A) certainly has a Blancpain ES feeling over it this year! :-)

***The No. 28 LG Motorsports Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 has been withdrawn after various gremlins with the car, according to team owner/driver Lou Gigliotti. The former series champion told Sportscar365 that he’ll focus on his GTS class Vantage GT4 this weekend. The GT3 car could return to action later this year with a customer.

***Reiter Engineering is fielding only two Blancpain Racing Lamborghinis this weekend, as its third car, originally published as a new Gallardo R-EX for Marcelo Hahn, was mistakenly on the entry list, per the team. The German squad is prepping a third Gallardo FL2 for a potential customer for later this year.

So, 38 cars will take the grid in GT/GTA tomorrow.

Do the GT3's race at 21:50 CET tonight? I'm not sure which class contains the GT3's, is it GT?

Awesome, thanks! Means I get to watch my football team win before the race starts
