Add to that total the various Automatic Invitations issued for success through the past season.
DSC believes that 11 automatic invitations will be taken up
LMP2
Team WRT (Winners 24 Hours of Le Mans 2022)
United Autosports (2nd in 2022 European Le Mans Series)
DKR Engineering (Winners in LMP3 2022 European Le Mans Series)
Nielsen Racing (Winners 2021/22 Asian Le Mans Series)
CD Sport (Winners in LMP3 Asian Le Mans Series) Likely a Ligier JS P217
GTE Pro
Riley Motorsport Ferrari 488 GTE (via IMSA LMP3 Championship win)
GTE Am
Spirit of Race Ferrari 488 GTE (second in ELMS GTE)
Iron Lynx Ferrari 488 GTE (winners ELMS GTE)
Inception Racing – Unknown (Winners Asian LMS GT class)
Rob Ferriol (Team unknown – car unknown) – Winner of IMSA Award
The third IMSA nominated entry looks certain to go to
WeatherTech Racing Porsche 911 RSR-19
Then add in the known requests for second cars from Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus in Hypercar and from Corvette Racing in GTE Pro
#709 Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 007 C
#63 Corvette Racing C8.R
That brings the total to c.50 entries established before the first coffee is poured at the Selection Committee.
There are then around a dozen potential entries to distribute and, by DSC’s latest calculations, c.12-15 additional LMP2 entry requests and a further 9-12 GTE Am entrants.
Most come from the European Le Mans Series where it is believed G-Drive Racing, G-Drive Racing by APR, IDEC Sport, Duqueine Team, Inter Europol, Graff Racing, TDS by Vaillante, Panis, Racing Team Turkey, BHK Motorsport and Muhlner Motorsport have all filed entries with a possible entry too from Cool Racing.
The ELMS GTE class looks likely to have produced entry requests from Proton Competition (Porsche), Absolute Racing (Porsche), Rinaldi Racing (Ferrari), JMW Motorsport (Ferrari), Kessel Racing (Ferrari), and Oman Racing with TF Sport (Aston Martin)
From the 2022 ranks in IMSA there are confirmed LMP2 entry requests from High Class racing (x2) and likely requests from Racing Team Nederland and DragonSpeed. Cetilar Racing are believed to have requested an entry for their Ferrari in GTE AM too.
And that is without any surprises popping up.
Either way the task sees 12 slots (plus a reserve list) to be allocated amongst more than 20 potential takers. There will be some nervous team managers awaiting the publication of the final list tomorrow.
