The lists below show the pre-selections, the teams who have stated that they will seek entry and teams which have not made any statement but would seem to be likely entrants based on past performance and current circumstances. Teams & PR's let us know if you think you should be here!
The list is more speculative than usual. We know the old LMP900 cars (Audi R8, Dallara, RfH Dome, etc) and LMP675 (DBA, Zytek) cannot compete in 2006, also the "hybrids" built for 2005 (Pescarolo, Courage C60, works Dome) have only one more year of eligibility. The new Porsche LMP2 is supposedly limited to ALMS and to Penske for 2006.
