BADBOYVETTES.COM - The ACO Is A Big Tease

26th of Feb is announcement day! I would see Phoenix entering a C6R, LAA too and possibly SRT? Lambo? Given it's rubbish performance in last two Le Mans...who knows. Nissan untested and no ACO experience....depends how much they pay ACO!! Argentina Ferrari 550?? Oh and I would guess 4 private Astons....

that GT-R is being built for FIA GT1 so i doubt we will see it in Le Mans at least this year. id like to see that ford GT compete. and of course hope lou gets a le mans slot as well. but that lambo did so horrible last year i doubt they have improved any. would be nice to see a ferrari in GT1.

AM Racing wont be @ Le Mans or ALMS, I doubt the Ford GT, Lambo will be @ Le Mans most likely, you may see a 550 @ Le Mans, and there is always a Saleen @ Le Mans, and possibly...in the ALMS

I believe Saleen and Maserati MC-12 are no longer legal...they never met homologation rules anyway. Perhaps they're giving them one more year to fill out the fields and await the new rules next year ?? Their definitely will be Ford GT's at Sebring and LeMans.

There should be 2 corvette (corvette racing), 2 corvette (luc alphand aventures), 1 lambo (same as last year), 1 ferrari f550 (noel del bello), 1 or 2 saleen (arc brastislava & full speed racing ???)
For the AM it will depend on the teams because Phoenix don't run their Corvette as GMAC has stopped their program but they have an AM in their factory. Vitaphone Racing team has an invitation but even if they don't have confirmed it have an AM so maybe 3/4 AM in addition to the previous cars I've enonced.

Just read on Dailysportscar that it is a possibility that Vitaphone maybe trying to persuade the ACO to accept the Maserati MC12 as they were testing it with some different parts in Portugal last week...all the guess work will be over with the ACO announcement on Thursday.

Finally it will be 4 C6R, 2 AM and 2 Lambo but no Saleen and no Ferrari.... Less than 4 months to wait now !!!

Nissan will engage a GTR in 4 races of the FIA GT championship in order to check the performance of the car before solding some cars to private teams for the new GT1 championship in 2010.
