The Aston Martin GTE-Pro #99 Craft-Bamboo entry has been withdrawn due to crash damage suffered in yesterday's first qualifying session. Unlike Audi Aston Martin can't put humpty dumpty back together again.

That would mean only 54 cars starting on Sunday.

Millennium Racing. They didn't get the funding in time. For the fourth time this year.

Millenium retired because of financial issues.

Who is Millennium racing? What car number and class?

They would have been racing in LMP2 with an Oreca Nissan. Don't remember the number, but the car is overall silver and orange.

How'd they do in practice?

They didn't practice. They crew just had to sit there at the track waiting for a yes or no answer on if they would get the funding to do the race.

That's crappy because there was almost certainly an alternate that could have raced if they hadn't gone through scrutineering.

What team would that have been? They pretty much ran out of reserve entries for this year.

I could swear they had enough LMP2 cars on the waiting list to fill spots. They ran out of GT cars though I know that.

Larbre Competition, Signatech Alpine A450 Nissan, Caterham-Greaves Motorsport, and Pegasus Racing Morgan-Nissan were the reserve Prototype entries. All of them are on the grid. When Lotus ended up not being ready, the ACO invited Millennium to race, after they initially withdrew back in April. Strakka's late withdrawal resulted in the ACO inviting Krohn Racing's GTE-Am entry.
