I hadnt heard of the Le Mans Intercontinental Cup or knew what it was until I just did some research. Motorsport.com: News channel
I found this intersting, "It did not take long of Audi Motorsport to announce their entry for the "Le Mans Intercontinental Cup". The German marquee will field three R15 TDIs under the Audi Sport Team Joest banner for the main Le Mans 24 hour event. Besides their annual trek to Le Mans, France for the June classic, they will compete at Spa in the LMS for their main dress rehearsal for the 24 hour event."
With Spa being used as a dress rehearsal, does that mean we will not see them at Sebring?
That is a likely possibilty. But to qualify/run in the LMIC the teams must also race in 5 LM style races, so Sebring is still a possibility, but it could be a tad to soon if they are to have a new car by then (R-15 plus).

So the LMIC is to be expanded, class wise, and include 'the 4 Aco clases' this year. Will be interesting to see which classes (or what cars occupy them) those will be in 2011. Here With the inclusion of all classes will this lift the mfgs. interest to participate more or draw some in?
