The DKR Engineering team to race in the Le Mans 24 Hours

Following the withdrawal of the Gulf Racing Middle East no. 29 from the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours, it will be replaced on the grid by the team from Luxembourg, DKR Engineering.
The Gulf Racing Middle East team had entered two cars for the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours in the LM P2 category. After the withdrawal of no. 29 only no. 28 driven by Frenchman Fabien Giroix remains in the running.
In compliance with the ACO regulations the place left vacant by the United Arab Emirates squad’s defection will be allocated to the first car on the list of LM P reserves.
Thus, the DKR Engineering team’s Lola B11/40-Judd joins the entrants invited to take part in the Le Mans 24 Hours on 22-23 June. The first driver announced is Olivier Porta from France.
This does not change the number of entrants (22) in LM P2 at the Le Mans 24 Hours, making it the category with the highest number of cars out of the 56 present. There is now only one car left on each of the reserve lists in LM P and LM GTE

2013 Le Mans 24 Hours Test Day: 61 cars on track!

Sixty one cars will take part in the 2013 Le Mans 24-Hours test day on 9th June. This day is a dress rehearsal for the race itself as it gives the entrants the opportunity to run on the big Le Mans circuit less than two weeks before the start of the event on 22-23 June.
This free test day is open to all the teams entered for the Le Mans 24 Hours and to works cars after their entry has been accepted provided they comply with the eligible categories (LM P1, LM P2, LM GTE Pro and LM GTE Am, LM PC and the 56th garage).
Nine LM P1s will test, one more than in the Le Mans 24 Hours, as Audi is bringing along a fourth Audi R18 e-tron quattro for Italian Marco Bonanomi.
In LM P2, Level 5 Motorsports and Signatech Motorsport will also enter a second car on 9th June, while one car from each team will start the race on 22nd June. The Gulf Racing squad will have a singleton entry, the no. 29 Lola B12/80-Nissan coupe.
In the LM GTE categories, all the cars entered for the race will be present – 12 GTE Pro and thirteen GTE Am cars – the same number (25) as will be on the grid on 22nd June.
Two cars have been entered in the LM PC category although the drivers have not yet been nominated. These cars are not eligible to race in the Le Mans 24 Hours: exceptionally they can run during the test day to discover the finer points of the big Le Mans circuit.
