The entry list for Le Mans is limited to 55 cars spread across
the 4 categories. 29 entries are "pre-selected", that
is to say if they enter, their entry will be accepted. This only
applies if the entry is to the same category as it was pre-selected
for. This privilege belongs to the team and is
not related to car or engine make. The pre-selections in each category
are:-
- 1st and 2nd at 2008 Le Mans in each category
- 1st and 2nd in 2008 LMS in each category
- 1st at 2008 Petit Le mans in each category
- 1st in 2008 ALMS or 2nd in ALMS in each category if winner
also won Petit Le Mans
- 1st and 2nd in 2008 FIA-GT in GT1 & GT2
- 1st 2008 Michelin Energy Endurance Challenge
The criteria for selection are deliberately vague, the following
is a quote from the ACO regulations outlining the "rules":-
a. The following criteria are at the Selection Committee’s
discretion.
b. The list is not exhaustive and with no priority classification.
- A maximum of two (2) cars per competitor
- Fame of the competitor (manufacturer, factory-backed team,
well-known private team, private team)
- Previous "24 Hours of Le Mans" races
- Competitors' record
- Regular entries in "American Le Mans Series" and "Le
Mans Series" events
- Recommended entry in a race prior to the Selection Committee
meeting
- Quality of the cars
- Technical interest
- Relationship with the A.C.O. and its environment regarding
legal and financial issues
- Maintaining the participation of "privateers"
- Etc.
