A bit of shock and horror from yesterday and a lot of announcements good and bad, first spyshots of Toyota's new car, Peugeot announcing that they'll be pulling out of endurance racing effective immediately, Pescarolo finally breaking the silence and announcing a programme for 2012, the floodgates open in LMP2... endurance racing is in a state of flux at the moment.
Okay, so this thread will be dedicated to any racing under the ACO "umbrella", plus Stephane Ratel's GT endurance series, so the GT World Championship (1h sprint races) is counted out. The first post will contain calendars for all 4 series, and complete entry lists when they surface.
