    Only if you only count the Pro's. If you include the Amateurs, more 997's.

    The entry list gives

    LM GTE Pro

    6 Ferrari 458 Italia
    5 Porsche 997

    LM GTE AM

    4 Ferrari 430
    3 Porsche 997

    Reserve
    3 Porsche 997.

    Apart from the use of at least one amateur on each car in the GTE Am category, I can't see any technical differences between the two GTE classes. Anyone aware of any?

    Some teams have entered one car in each class, I wonder why.

    That's the case for Felbermayer-Proton and Flying Lizard Motorsports.

    nope, in the last 4 years at le mans (2 of witch Ferrari won) Ferrari 430 has proven to be more reliable then the 997.

    About the entry list its not the uantity, but the quality that counts!

    Porshce has at least 3 exeptional entries the 2 Felmbayer ones and the Lizard one, while ferrari has only the one maybe two
