I think it's more like Acura didn't renew their contract w/ AGR. I must say some of those other entries are quite, shall we say, optimistic. Cheers
This posted list is purely spectulative - in reality there's THREE LMP2, most likely only TWO GT1, most likely only SEVEN LMP1 and most likely only SIXTEEN GT2. With all luck a grid of THIRTY. After Sebring it should drop to perhaps FOUR LMP1, will remain at THREE LMP2, TWO GT1 until LeMans then Corvette goes GT2, and SEVEN to TEN competitive GT2 with rest being backmarkers. In comparison, LMS has a confirmed grid of 49 cars for the season! The Ginetta-Zytek LMP1 for Team LNT was at Petit. I was talking to Danny Watts about Prague at their tent. Unfortunately, they were on the backside of others in the paddock, as was Creation and during the autograph session there were very few people back there. Carol
