The ACO has released the entry list for the 2011 24 hours of Le Mans

The ACO released the entry list for the 24 hours of Le Mans today.  Porsche has discontinued factory support of the RS Spyder prototype, and as such, there will be no Porsche prototypes in LMP2 for 2011.  The GT competition rules have been slightly reworked this year, as GT1 has been disbanded and the former GT2 class will now be known as GTE, now broken into Professional and Amateur. 

Porsche has representation by six teams, entering eight 911 GT3 RSRs in the French endurance classic.  Brandishing the crest of the Zuffenhausen brand, four teams have entered GTE Pro; Prospeed Competition, IMSA Performance Matmut, American team Flying Lizard Motorsports, and Team Felbermayr-Proton who are fielding two cars.  The Amateur ranks are filled by entries from Proton Competition, Larbre Competition, and a second car from Flying Lizard.  Three of the GTE class reserve ranks are also GT3 models, including a second car from Prospeed, along with one each from Tolmit Arabia, and BMS Scuderia Italia.
