According to Johnny Mowlem on MWM Corsa will be back either Laguna Seca or SLC.
David Robertson told EI that they are looking to run a second car from Petit onwards with an eye on 2011 and more help from Ford.
A second Rocketsports Jag is expected from Long Beach onwards as per SPEED.
This are looking up!

So, will we see a PTG Abruzzi in GT-2, before the end of the season?

Dr. Don did say during his SPEED interview at Sebring that he was hoping to have an Abruzzi ready for an entry at PLM. We shall see.

Well it seems that GT is becoming a defacto E-85 class. Corvette, BMW, ESM, Lizards and Risi are now all running E-85 as of SLC. Here

With the Gonzales family pulling out of GTC (AJR) I wonder how long it will take to replace those spots in GTC.
And from the piece by JD it seems that Gonzales (the younger) along with Diaz will be stepping up to LMPC. Maybe we will see Uncle Juan in the car for enduros, I suspect we will see the Mission branding on the car.

Well it seems we will get a glimpse of the first 2011 rules P-2 racing at Mid Ohio. Libra Racing Radical Nissan.

Second Robertson Racing GT for Petit. Piloted by an all pro lineup of David Murry, Rob Bell and Anthony Lazzaro, the Robertsons will be joined by Craig Stanton in the #40.

So on the Speed broadcast Scott A. said that the "Goals and Expectations is that the entries for Petit is gonna start with a 5".

A fully subscribed GTC, 10 as 8 are running now, is highly likely with the points being so tight for the team championship between AJR, Back Swan and TRG. It would not suprise me to see a couple of team cars added to help.

GT is currently at 13 regulars, with added entries by Robertson, RSR, PTG (Abruzzi) and a hint earlier in the season of a second Falken car brings us to 17 possible. Although not scored the 997 GT3 RH will be on the grid. There could very well be added entries here to fight for a Mfg. championship.

LMPC is currently at 6 with a tight race between Level 5 and GETG for both drivers and team championship. Is it possible we will see a 2nd entry from GETG? Maybe another PR1/Mathiasen entry with Mission on the car?

P-2 Sebring and Petit only = Cytosport, Highcroft and Dyson. Cytosport leads here will we see a possible second Highcroft or Dyson? They both have a second car
.
P-1 also Petit and Sebring only = Autocon, Intersport and Drayson. Possible 2nd Lola Judd?

Also is the Libra 2011 P-2 entry

So ALMS = probable 40, possible 42, maybe 46 (stretch)


ILMC & others of those who have talked about coming.

P-1) Audi 2, Peugeot 2, Jag/Fernandez and Signature plus,

P-2) Oak 2

FLM) There has been mention of some of these cars for the ILMC ??

GT) possible GT-1 ??, and maybe a stray GT-2 or so.


So making 50+ is not outside the realm it seems.

Audi confirms 2 cars with driver line-ups for Petit. Here
Jacques Nicolet has re-confirmed 2 Oak Pecarolo P-2s for Petit and 1 for Zhuhai. Here
