Millennium Racing has withdrawn !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! from the 24 Hours of Le Mans after it was planned they'd replace Lotus on the grid. They've !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! race they've !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! this year, because who ever it is in the UAE funding them fucking sucks at getting the money to them in time. Gotta feel sorry the the team, being there waiting for the go or no go.
The only good thing about their withdrawal being this close to the race is that AF Corse won't be able to have their 10th reserve entry which would be their 35th GTE entry on the grid, since you know half the fucking grid is made up of AF Corse 458s.
EDIT: The numbers in the last part are an exaggeration

Half the field in Ferrari? Is their new motto, "We'll just crash into everyone and only a Ferrari will finish?"

I'm exaggerating, but there's 14 Ferrari entries on the grid, and AF Corse supports just about all of them.

Good fuck at point half the field is made up GTE-Am cars. Good think Porsche is in P1 this year or the main story this year would be how decimated the P2 and GTE-Pro field is.

The new cars (Porsche, Ligier, Rebellion) have done a decent job of distracting from the losses the field has had this year. It's a shame the Vipers, the Strakka-Dome, or Lotus T129 won't make an appearance. I think next year will be better. This is a difficult time for P2 because of the driver regulations and the new cars that teams have to consider buying. I understand why Larbre didn't go with the Corvettes this year- they got screwed by the ACO on that. Plus all the privateer Porsche teams have to make a tough decision. Spend the money on a 991 RSR or hope for a favorable BOP for the 997 GT3 RSR, which has happened. Could we have seen the US P2 teams at Le Mans this year? Maybe, but Michelin wasn't exactly keen on making a single race deal with Muscle Milk. That's why they withdrew from Le Mans even before Sebring.

Well Pickett racing is dead for now, so they aren't going to Le Mans anytime soon.
