24 hours of le Mans Official Test Entry List

In LMP1 11 of the 14 cars are WEC entries and it will be the first opportunity to see the new AER powered Rebellion R-One and the trio of Nissan GT-R LM NISMO on track. As they did at Spa-Francorchamps earlier this month Porsche and Audi will be fielding a third entry.  The Porsche 919 hybrids will also be switching to the red, black and white Le Mans liveries that were unveiled at The Prologue in March. Reigning World Champions Toyota will be running two cars as the Japanese team bids to win their first 24 Heures du Mans to add to the 2014 world titles.

The impressive 21 car entry LMP2 grid includes all 9 WEC full season entries including current championship leaders G-Drive Racing.  They are joined by 10 European Le Mans Series competitors, including the WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps race winners and reigning LMP2 24H Le Mans champions JOTA Sport. 

With just 9 entries in total the LMGTE Pro is the smallest at this year’s race but what the class lacks in quantity it certainly makes up for it with quality.  The 7 WEC works entries from Aston Martin, Ferrari and Porsche will face the challenge of the works Corvettes from the TUSCC.  This four way battle for the win at Le Mans will the class one of the ones to watch during 2015 race.

The 18 strong LMGTE Am grid will feature all 7 WEC entries and they will be joining by a similar number of ELMS competitors, with the remaining 4 cars from the TUSCC and Asian Le Mans Series.  The no98 Aston Martin Vantage of Paul Dalla Lana, Mathias Lauda and Pedro Lamy have had the perfect start to 2015 – scoring 52 points in the first two races after taking pole position and victory at Silverstone and Spa.  All eyes will be watching to see if they maintain their 100% record at Le Mans?

At 16h00 on Saturday 30 May the 56 cars taking part in the 24 Heures Le Mans on the 13/14 June will form up on the grid for the traditional grid photograph and on Sunday the first 4-hour test session will begin at 09h00 followed at 14h00 by the second session.
