The Badger · 29 Nov 2010, 20:15 (Ref:2797329)

Any of you people have a list of who wants to do the ILMC please ?

P1
Audi x 2
Pug x 2
Pescarolo x 1 Pescarolo
Oreca x 1 Peg
OAK x 1 Pescarolo

P2
Oak x 1 Pescarolo

Thats about all I know that are definate .

Are there any US teams considering the championship . Be great to see Dyson doing it .

Any Asian teams planning an assault .

Post your info here please .

Fogelhund · 29 Nov 2010, 20:25 (Ref:2797331)

My guess is that Drayson does ILMC instead of a series. Dyson won't. Maybe Jaguar. That's it.

**joeb** · 29 Nov 2010, 20:31 (Ref:2797335)

I think you can add Aston in P1 in some shape or form for 2011.

Simmi · 29 Nov 2010, 20:36 (Ref:2797337)

Aston Martin all being well. Maybe just one car? Although very little info is coming out from them.

I don't think Henri has the ILMC in mind for his first year. He said recently the LMS was more realistic. But if he can grab a few more sponsors anything is possible.

Not a lot of confirmed prototype interest at the moment.

You could say that right across all three series for now, at least in the LMP1 category.

I Rosputnik · 29 Nov 2010, 22:24 (Ref:2797377)

Any team entering with a Matech Ford LMGT?

Few ALMS teams will want to, the schedule does not blend well with ILMC, and it's going to be bad enough for me marshalling some of them, let alone the logistics of teams getting cars and staff back and forth across the pond.

- Pescarolo is not certain!
- OAK is between 1-2 cars
- Aston Martin will do some races (Sebring, Spa, Le Mans most probably) but is not definitive.
- Hope PoleVision announced full ILMC with their Oreca Lehmann Hybrid
- Dyson Racing will also do ILMC most probably, and is between 1-2 cars

I can't see Rebellion going down the Toyota route if they didn't have ambitions grander than the LMS title.

Pescarolo said 2011 could be the last year for the LMS, not sure if that will have a bearing on any teams plans.

They have said in 2010 that the ILMC was a strong possibility but they haven't said nothing yet. They were at Portimão testing with Dunlop, and as far as i could see, the Toyota connection is not that innocent as they want to people think!

Pescarolo may think that he can get the money for a world wide tour with the ILMC but most of the current LMS teams don't. If the LMS ended, 90% of the current engaged teams would also disappear or move to other series.

rich07 · 30 Nov 2010, 01:16 (Ref:2797428)

GT
Larbre Corvette-definitely as they have announced it.
Ferrari ? (AF Corse?-at least 1)
Porsche? (Felbermayer?)

Where did you get this idea?

Asa · 30 Nov 2010, 01:49 (Ref:2797438)

Lotus should be entering the China race in Nov with their new LMP2 car, according to their own announcements.

I get the impression that sponsorship wont be too hard for Henri ..... I think a lot of people got a surprise when he almost went belly up , and so far its looking good for a team for 2011 .

AMR
Drayson Lola B09/60
Sbarta Oreca/Nismo

P2
Level 5 Lola
Libra Racing Radical SR9

Question : Is the WFR-01 eligable for 2011 . It didnt race in 2010 , so Im not sure if it recieves grandfather rights ?

It doesn't, unfortunately, so it's not eligible for 2011.

As it stands they'd need to find sponsorship for three fly away races if they do a full season but on the flip side would be guaranteed a Le Mans entry and be competing in events with potentially significantly more media exposure than the average standalone LMS race.

I think simply being Henri Pescarolo implies a guaranteed LM entry...

courageous · 30 Nov 2010, 17:16 (Ref:2797736)

That is an interesting problem with including le mans itself in the championship...

I want to race at Le Mans - I get 2 other gentlemen to join in & rent a cannibalised rubbish prototype then lodge an ILMC entry... Do the ACO risk a small AsLMS (and Imola IMO) grid for the sake of giving a more deserving LMS but non ILMC entry a run in the 24?

This makes me wonder, is entering the ILMC as simple as filling out the form and paying the fee, or is there the famous French "blackbox" one has to go through to get an entry?

Speed-King · 30 Nov 2010, 18:03 (Ref:2797754)

You have to compete in all events if you sign up for it... that should weed out many of the lesser-funded teams.

I wonder what the penalty would be for entering the pre-LeMans events plus the 24 then dropping out.

Nevereverever getting a Le Mans entry again for once, I'd supposse...

I considered that, but if it were just a couple of rich guys who wanted to say they did it, I'd say that is a good way to go!
