24h of Le Mans 2009 - Accepted Entries

29 winning teams in last year's ALMS, LMS and other endurance races got an automatic invitation to this year's 24h of Le Mans race. Only 15 teams have accepted the invitation.

The Le Mans 24 Hours 2009 Automatic Entries are:

LMP1:
- Audi Sport North America Audi R10 TDi
- Audi Sport Team Joest Audi R10 TDi
- Team Peugeot Total Peugeot 908 HDi
- Team Peugeot Total Peugeot 908 HDi

LMP2:
- Team Essex Porsche RS Spyder

GT1:
- Corvette Racing Corvette C6.R
- Corvette Racing Corvette C6.R
- Luc Alphand Aventures Corvette C6.R

GT2:
- Risi Competizione Ferrari 430
- Risi Competizione Ferrari 430
- BMS Scuderia Italia Ferrari 430
- BMS Scuderia Italia Ferrari 430
- Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche 997 RSR
- Virgo Motorsport Ferrari 430
- Team Felbermayr-Proton Porsche 997 RSR
- AF Corse Ferrari 430

So lots of places are open for teams that have not been invited automatically and some already sent a registration request to the ACO. Let's hope that LMP2 gets filled up! At least one request is already known: The Kruse-Schiller-Motorsport Team sent a request for the LMP2 class with its Lola-Coupé.

Remembering Flying Lizard's GT3 RSR in Le Mans 2008

Soon, the endurance season 2009 starts with the ALMS Test Days in Sebring at Jan 26th where 14 new cars will be tested.
