LNT & Zytek To Le Mans???

[GCerbera]

www.dailysportscar.net suggest we can expect major changes to the Le Mans entry list this week!

Please ACO let it be LNT and Zytek!

[top fuel]

I was gonna post a simlar thing... I think enough was said (verbally and performance wise) to make the ACO realise that they hade been tools...

Hope that the LNT entry isn't at the expense of the Racesport car, cos DEnnis will be heartbroken!

[Supersonic]

Let's hope they've seen the light and give 'em an invite, fingers crossed.

Heres to LNT and Zytek at Le Mans

[ccharlie6]

there may be a good chance as every reserve apart from one has now quit. which means there are 5 spaces left on the reserve list with more entries expected to leave!. GO ON ACO GIVE THE TIVS A CHANCE

[Mrs_T]

I am going to keep everything crossed and hope to read very soon that the ACO have seen sense and let in the LNT's and Zytek.

After the Spa LMES results they'd be pretty daft not to include LNT's tivs and the Zytek, here's hoping. I know Laurence had a good meeting with a guy from the ACO in Sebring so I'm more than hopeful. This kind of entry drama happens every year and when the closing date for teams entry cheques passes, there are usually a bunch of teams that can't stump up the cash.

Anybody go to Magney Cours at the weekend, I didn't see it on telly???? I guess fourth & fifth wasn't too bad considering how much quicker the Ferraris seem to be currently.

Really do hope LNT get into Le Mans, I know that a lot of effort has gone in to make the team work.

Been to the ACO website, it appears they only replace withdrawn cars from the reserve list and then only if the teams have 'respected the conditions of entry'. Consequently the withdrawal of one LMP1 prototype and a GT1 Saleen have been replaced with - you guessed it two GT2 911's.
no hope for Zytek or LNT I'm afraid.

I thought the Zytec was in??

When I looked at the list last week I'm sure the Zytec was there..... could be wrong though.

[V8 Archie]

From the entrylist:
9 . TEAM JOTA-ZYTEK ENGINEERING LTD GBR LMP1 - LMP 675 ZYTEK 3396A

No sign of any changes since late April.

[zebedee]

different car, that one

[hansgerd]

That's the second 04 Zytec chassis owned by Jota.

Warren Hughes now confirmed to Drive for RML MG and is quoted at <a href="www.dailysportscar.com"><a href="www.dailysportscar.com">www.dailysportscar.com</a></a>
as saying "With the prospect of driving the TVR (at Le Mans) with LNT now gone,
I couldn’t have hoped for a better alternative"

Flippin ACO - throws toys out of pram..

Yeah but to be fair, with the reliability of 911's in endurance racing they need about a dozen entries to get one to the flag...

If only that were true, I know your comment was tongue in cheek (or somewhere tastier ) but the GT2 podium will be all Beetles at this rate...

[jeremysmith]

I'm thinking of having a T shirt printed to wear at Le Mans to acknowledge my disgust at LNT's absence. It won't be in bad taste but the message needs to be loud and clear and in French as a form of protest.

I know the ACO is French and it's there party but 90% of the punters are not and want to see the best possible entry list based on results.

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome...
