List with narrative
Sebastien Loeb gets slot as 2014 Le Mans 24 Hours entry revealed By Sam Tremayne Thursday, February 13th 2014, 16:05 GMT
Sebastien Loeb Racing's first Le Mans 24 Hours attempt was confirmed in Paris on Thursday when organisers unveiled the entry list for the 2014 race.
The team has entered a single ORECA-Nissan in the LMP2 class, with 2012 Porsche Supercup champion and GT specialist Rene Rast listed as its lead driver in his first LMP programme.
Loeb's entry is part of a 17-strong LMP2 division that also includes two entries from Delta-ADR's new partner Millennium Racing, three from the OAK stable and one from Strakka, which ran in the P1 class last year, with the new Dome-Strakka S103.
Moving in the opposite direction is Lotus, which steps up from P2 into prototype racing's highest class for the 2014 twice-round-the-clock enduro with an AER-engined T129.
It will go up against fellow privateer Rebellion Racing - which field two of its eponymous new ORECA-built R-One cars - and works entries from Audi, Toyota and Porsche.
Porsche and Toyota will bring two entries each. Toyota has slated Alexander Wurz and Anthony Davidson as its lead drivers, while Porsche has likewise nominated Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.
This is the first stage of the official confirmation of the driver line-ups in the 919 Hybrids, as exclusively revealed by AUTOSPORT last month.
Audi meanwhile will run three cars, led by Lucas di Grassi, Marcel Fassler and Filipe Albuquerque respectively.
The Portuguese racer's #3 e-tron quattro is the only Le Mans addition from the full-time World Endurance Championship entry list.
Elsewhere, Nissan's ZEOD RC Le Mans 24 Hours racer had its Garage 56 spot officially confirmed. Lucas Ordonez is its named lead driver.
Twelve cars will line up in GTE Pro, with Aston Martin the single largest contributor with three cars.
Ferrari's AF Corse squad will field two entries, as will the works Corvette team.
They will be joined by Ram Racing which, as predicted by AUTOSPORT, steps up after triumphing in the European Le Mans Series at its first attempt last year.
JMW, which finished 10th in last year's race, has been placed on the 2014 GTE Pro reserve list.
GTE Am meanwhile features 16 cars, among them four entries from AF Corse and three from Aston Martin.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Fabien Barthez will make his Le Mans debut with Jerome Policand's ASP team.

Great entry list, but really sad that this is probably the first year I can remember without a Lola on the list. Will they ever return.

Pretty hard to do when it no longer exists...unless you mean like the return of "Lotus"....    |

Big shame that Lola won't be there. I thought they did still exist, if in name only with a deal between multimatic and hass. The new regs seem made for them, if Liger can come back I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Lola do. They did not have much of direct presence during the GRP c era, bookending the class with the guy Edwards car and then the 3.5 euro racing cars. Also the GT1 era of the early 90's was a sparse time for Lola entries, but they are a long time ago now. |

The Lola factory near my home is a sad, still unoccupied site.....
A nice entry list - although I must admit I had missed the news of the Garage 56, hybrid electric, son-of-Nissan Delta wing, entry until now. 11 laps on a screaming 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine, followed by a lap of a silent "whoosh" of tyre noise. Hhmmm.....

But it does get round the old problem of "it'll do 11 1/2 laps on a tankfull, but half a lap is no use to anyone" . If it will do a whole lap on battery power they can just run flat out till it runs out of fuel and still get back to the pits to refuel, not such a bad idea is it! How long before Audi, Porsche and Toyota come up with something similar? If rules allow of course. |
