I have been reflecting that the full WEC grid plus auto invites and LMP2 entries gives little room for discretionary invites in LMH and GT. I know that is stating the obvious a bit but I have only just appreciated the consequences of this eg for any GT focused Gold or Platinum drivers not in the WEC it is very hard to find a way in to Le Mans.
Part of me wonders if I'd prefer no LMP2 and more discretionary entries in the other classes. But then there is the history and the loyalty of those teams. Nice problem to have of course. |

A bit more to the story it seems…
“The original version of this story followed an incorrect release from Formula Racing which stated that the Spirit of Race LMGT3 entry had been taken over by Formula Racing – That is not permitted under the entry rules for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.” https://www.dailysportscar.com/2024/04/26/johnny-laursen-joins-spirit-of-race-le-mans-entry.html |

Endurance-Info reporting that Alex Quinn is the third driver in #14 AO by TF LMP2 entry.
I read the other day via DailySportscar that a few entries (LMP2 and LMGT3) were looking uncertain before the publication of the full LM24 entry list this week and that the reserve list may be called upon. Judging by more recent announcements I would suggest that the questioned entries are: #9 Proton LMP2 - only Jonas Ried listed in the car #24 Nielsen LMP2 - original list had David Heinemeier Hansson and Albert Costa in the car, but Costa recently Tweeted that he likely wouldn't be at Le Mans this year. #44 Proton Ford Mustang GT3 - only Christian Ried listed in the car #66 JMW Ferrari 296 GT3 - only Giacomo Petrobelli listed in the car With the #79 Proton Porsche 963 Hypercar as 1st Reserve - I wonder if Proton may withdraw the #9 or the #44 to promote their Hypercar. 2nd Reserve - the #43 Inter Europol LMP2 - will probably be scratched as the listed names in that reserve entry have been moved to the #34 Inter Europol LMP2. 3rd Reserve - the #72 Racing Spirit of Leman Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 with DeBoer/Hasse-Clot/Robin - could well make the race. I wonder if the 4th Reserve drivers - the #74 Kessel Ferrari 296 GT3 with Hartshorne/Tuck listed - could end up in the #66 JMW Ferrari 296 GT3 given that Hartshorne/Tuck race that car in the ELMS. |

So if I have this right - drivers who have lost their seat since the publication of the original entry list:
Matt Griffin/David Perel (tied into Duncan Cameron withdrawal from the #155 Spirit of Race) Manuel Maldonado (#65 Panis Racing) Gabriel Aubry (#10 Vector Sport) Tom Dillmann (#34 Inter Europol) Albert Costa (#24 Nielsen Racing) |

I am just so unbelievably excited for this year's race - the sheer variety of hypercars, finally seeing a huge field of GT3 cars blast around the track, the incredible level of driver quality - the race this year has it all. I am no leaving my apartment the entire weekend, lol

No Vettel then. Ahh well. Not like the race really needs him is it haha.
Phenomenal list. So many high quality debutants this year too with extra hypercars and GT3 talent finding a way in. |

It's pretty mad just looking at the championship titles the LM debutants in Hypercar have won.
Alex Palou - Indycar x2 Rafaelle Marciello - European F3, Blancpain Sprint Cup, GT World Cup x2, GTWC Endurance Cup x2, ADAC GT Masters Marco Wittman - DTM x2 Andrea Caldarelli - Blancpain Endurance Cup x2, GTWC America x2 Sheldon van der Linde - DTM Mick Schumacher - European F3, FIA F2 Edoardo Mortara - F3 Euroseries, Macau GP x2, Macau GT Cup x3, GT World Cup Robert Shwarzman - FIA F3 Felipe Drugovich - FIA F2 And the guys in the Isotta... |

An interesting addition to the Road to Le Mans entry list is former superbike world champion Sylvain Guintoli. He is a former LM 24 Moto winner and apparently has ambitions to be the first to win here on both 2 and 4 wheels. Presumably preparing for a P2 or GT3 drive in a year or two's time?
