The ACO has officially announced the automatic invitations for the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans, so I feel it is time to kick off the thread for the discussion of everything endurance-related in the 2010 motorsport season. From the big daddies, Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans, to the American/European/Asian Le Mans Series races, everything concerning endurance racing goes here.
So, let's kick it off.

Invitation list:
LMP1:
Peugeot Sport Total (Peugeot 908 HDi FAP) - 1st Le Mans 24 Hours 2009
Team Peugeot Total (Peugeot 908 HDi FAP) - 2nd Le Mans 24 Hours 2009
Aston Martin Racing (Lola Aston Martin) - 1st Le Mans Series 2009
Pescarolo Sport (Pescarolo 01 Judd) - 2nd Le Mans Series 2009
Patr?n Highcroft Racing (Acura ARX-02a) - 1st American Le Mans Series 2009
Sora Racing (Pescarolo 01 Judd) - 1st Asian Le Mans Series 2009
Team Peugeot Total (Peugeot 908 HDi FAP) - 1st Petit Le Mans 2009
Interestingly, this is the first time in some time that Audi does not get an automatic invite. Peugeot sweeps up three invites, so they can prepare without hassle for the big race. Also here's hoping that Highcroft Racing take up their invitation and bring the Acura to Le Mans.
LMP2:
Team Essex (Porsche RS Spyder) - 1st Le Mans 24 Hours 2009
Speedy Racing Sebah (Lola Judd) - 2nd Le Mans 24 Hours 2009
Quifel ASM Team (Ginetta-Zytek) - 1st Le Mans Series 2009
Speedy Racing Team Sebah (Lola Judd) - 2nd Le Mans Series 2009
OAK Racing (Lola Mazda) - 1st Asian Le Mans Series 2009
Lowe?s Fern?ndez Racing (Acura ARX-01b) - 1st American Le Mans Series 2009
Speedy Racing Team Sebah (Lola Judd) - 1st Michelin Green X Challenge 2009
Hmmm... three invites for Speedy Racing Team Sebah? :lol: And an invite to Fernandez Racing... which has just folded as a team.
GT1:
Corvette Racing (Corvette C6.R) - 1st Le Mans 24 Hours 2009
Luc Alphand Aventures (Corvette C6.R) - 2nd Le Mans 24 Hours 2009
Luc Alphand Aventures (Corvette C6.R) - 1st Le Mans Series 2009
JLOC (Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT) - 1st Asian Le Mans Series 2009
Vitaphone Racing Team (Maserati MC12) - 1st FIA GT 2009
PK Carsport (Corvette C6.R) - 2nd FIA GT 2009
Let's hope JLOC doesn't mean another waste of an entry. Also Larbre Competition finished 2nd in the LMS but didn't get an invitation because they missed Spa. That's pretty dumb.
And, hopefully, we'll see the Mazzers at LM next year.
GT2:
Risi Competizione (Ferrari F430 GT2) - 1st Le Mans 24 Hours 2009
BMS Scuderia Italia (Ferrari F430 GT2) - 2nd Le Mans 24 Hours 2009
Team Felbermayr-Proton (Porsche 997 GT3 RSR) - 1st Le Mans Series 2009
JMW Motorsport (Ferrari F430 GT2) - 2nd Le Mans Series 2009
Flying Lizard Motorsports (Porsche 997 GT3 RSR) - 1st American Le Mans Series 2009
Hankook Team Farnbacher (Ferrari F430 GT2) - 1st Asian Le Mans Series 2009
AF Corse (Ferrari F430 GT2) - 1st FIA GT 2009
ProSpeed Competition (Porsche 997 GT3 RSR) - 2nd FIA GT 2009
Risi Competizione (Ferrari F430 GT) - 1st Petit Le Mans 2009
No surprises here. Hoping the battle between Ferrari and Porsche will last 24 hours, not 14 hours like it did this year.
Okay, let the discussions begin!
So, let's kick it off.
