The organisers of the Le Mans 24 Hours (or 24 Hours of Le Mans) race have released the entry list for this year, which holds out to 55 cars from numerous companies, and 20 LMP1 cars to take the start.
As usual, many will unquestionably call for Audi’s victory in the LMP1 category, but it's not so easy for the Ingolstadt-based company this time around. With Peugeot adding a new car and F1 drivers to its team, and Pescarlo waiting to give a clear out fight; Audi will face some tough competitions on all sides.
The LMP2 category alternatively has its highlight with Porsche RS Spyder making its first appearance at Le Mans and many others bringing in their outstanding new cars. In the GT1 category, Aston Martin and Corvette will go head to head again, with Interprogressbank Spartak Racing lurking over their backs with the only Lamborghini in the race. As for the GT2, Porsche and Ferrari will compete with their 911 GT3-RSR’s and F430 GT’s respectively, alongside two Spykers.
