Currently confirmed in LMH: Toyota, Glickenhaus, Peugeot, Ferrari, Kolles

Currently confirmed in LMDh: Porsche, Audi, Acura

Not yet officially confirmed but as good as certain in LMDh: Lamborghini, Cadillac

Will do either LMH or LMDh: Alpine

Rumoured to be considering LMDh: BMW, Bentley, McLaren

BMW may also re-join the GT-Pro class (I hope we'll see Aston Martin there again as well, not counting on them doing LMH now that it's in Stroll's hands)

When the Valkyrie project fell through I really thought we were in for a long doldrum in prototype racing. Boy was I wrong. I sincerely hope the world avoids any sort of economic crisis, as those tend to be the things that bring an early end to boon times in sportscar racing. When customers don't want to play and manufacturer budgets tighten, racing programs get dropped.

I would put Kolles in the "we'd love to see it" category. Confirmed is a strong word for a privateer effort like that.

Damn, a 4 car dual-series campaign with Penske. That is a very, very big statement of intent, and I can't wait to see the driver line-up.

I expect Nico Hülkenberg, Laurens Vanthoor, Pascal Wehrlein, André Lotterer & Michael Christensen to be lead contenders for it. Possibly also Neel Jani.

I would love to see a retro Sunoco livery - would actually be 50yrs anniversary of that in 2023. Bet my house on at least one of the cars running that.

As for new liveries, they could do worse than run a PPG scheme like the one on McLaughlin's indycar. That would look sweet.

Well one thing is for sure, we know Penske is not paying for anything, so they'll have title sponsors.

Personally, I'd be happy with a combination of marine blue and yellow, with a bit of red and grey splashed in.

Might be a bit close to home with the Audi stickers...

You've go a solid assortment of serious sports car racing organizations, and chancers. Luckily, most of the fans will be caring more about the serious entrants anyway. Except for the tifosi.
